Hi Brainiac

Distribute

(5)(y)+(5)(-4)=(7)(2y)+(7)(1)

5y-20=14y+7

Now we need to subtract 14y from both sides

5y-20-14y=14y+7-14y

-9y-20=7

Now add 20

-9y-20+20=7+20

-9y=27

Divide both sides by -9 to both sides so we can find the value for y

-9y/-9= 27/-9

y= -3

I hope that's help:0

Good night

When does the value of f(x) = (1/2)x equal the value of g(x) =2x+8 ?

Zanzabum

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{f=g(x)\ \text{for}\ x=-\dfrac{16}{3}=-5\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When does the value of f(x) = (1/2)x equal the value of g(x) =2x+8?

$f(x)=g(x)\iff\dfrac{1}{2}x=2x+8\qquad|\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from bpoth sides}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}x-2x=2x-2x+8\\\\-1\dfrac{1}{2}x=8\qquad|\text{convert the mixed number to the improper fraction}\\\\-\dfrac{2\cdot1+1}{2}x=8\\\\-\dfrac{3}{2}x=8\qquad\text{multiply both sides by}\ -\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\left(-\dfrac{2\!\!\!\!\diagup}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup}\right)\left(-\dfrac{3\!\!\!\!\diagup}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup}x\right)=\left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)\cdot8\\\\x=-\dfrac{2\cdot8}{3}\\\\x=-\dfrac{16}{3}$
