Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for a variable, first you have to isolate it on one side of the equation.

First, you do is subtract 2 from both sides.

2y-2+2=36-2

Then, you simplify.

36-2=34

2y=34

Next, you divide 2 from both sides.

2y/2=34/2

Finally, simplify.

34/2=17

<h2>Therefore, the correct answer is y=17. </h2><h2>Hope this helps! </h2><h2>Thank you for posting your question!</h2>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2y+2=36

Let's solve this equation for 2y first. This means get 2y by itself.

So to get 2y by itself I need to undo that addition of 2 next to it.

The inverse operation of addition is subtraction.

I'm going to subtract 2 on both sides:

2y =36-2

2y =34

Now we want to get y by itself so we divide both sides by 2 since division and multiplication are inverse operations:

y= 34/2

y= 17

One night Puvi spent 1/3 of his money on dinner and then 1/4 of the remaining money on dessert. He then had just enough left so

arsen [322]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of two tickets = 2 * 30 = £60

Let the amount with Puvi = £x

Money spent on dinner = (1/3)*x

$= \dfrac{1}{3}x$

$Remaining \ money =x - \dfrac{1}{3}x =\dfrac{3}{3}x-\dfrac{1}{3}x=\dfrac{2}{3}x$

$Money \ spent \ on \ dessert = \dfrac{1}{4} *\dfrac{2}{3}x =\dfrac{1}{6}x\\\\\\$

Total money - money spent on dinner - money spent on dessert = 60

$x -\dfrac{1}{3}x -\dfrac{1}{6}x=60\\\\\\\dfrac{6}{6}x-\dfrac{1*2}{3*2}-\dfrac{1}{6}x =60\\\\\\\dfrac{6}{6}x-\dfrac{2}{6}x-\dfrac{1}{6}x=60\\\\\\\dfrac{6-2-1}{12}x=60\\\\\\\dfrac{3}{12}x=60\\\\\\x=60*\dfrac{12}{3}=60*4=240$

Money that Puvi had at the start of the night = £ 240

Leah's age is twice her cow old are Leah and her cousin?usin's age. If they add their ages together they get 36. How old are Lea

nignag [31]

Okay so lets call Leah "L" and her cousin "C". We know that L+C=36 ... we also know that Leah is twice her cousins age. Therefore, L=2 times C, or L=2C. This is because Leah's age is equivalent to twice as much as her cousin's.
Now that you know that L=2C, you can plug this back into the equation. This should make it so that's there's only one variable now!
L+C=36
(2C)+C=36 ... here we subbed in L=2C
3C=36 ... we add up the C's
C=12 ... we isolate for C by dividing both sides by 3

So her cousin's age is 12 years old. Leah's age is twice that. Thus, she's 24. If you add the two up: 12+24, you indeed get 36. Hope that helps :))

Type the correct answer in the box. Use a comma to separate the x- and y-coordinates of each point. The coordinates of the point

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

On a unit circle, the point that corresponds to an angle of $0^{\circ}$ is at position $(1, \, 0)$ .

The point that corresponds to an angle of $90^{\circ}$ is at position $(0, \, 1)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

On a cartesian plane, a unit circle is

a circle of radius $1$ ,
centered at the origin $(0, \, 0)$ .

The circle crosses the x- and y-axis at four points:

$(1, \, 0)$ ,
$(0, \, 1)$ ,
$(-1,\, 0)$ , and
$(0,\, -1)$ .

Join a point on the circle with the origin using a segment. The "angle" here likely refers to the counter-clockwise angle between the positive x-axis and that segment.

When the angle is equal to $0^\circ$ , the segment overlaps with the positive x-axis. The point is on both the circle and the positive x-axis. Its coordinates would be $(1, \, 0)$ .

To locate the point with a $90^{\circ}$ angle, rotate the $0^\circ$ segment counter-clockwise by $90^{\circ}$ . The segment would land on the positive y-axis. In other words, the $90^{\circ}$ -point would be at the intersection of the positive y-axis and the circle. Its coordinates would be $(0, \, 1)$ .
