Simplify 2.8y + 6 + 0.2y to 3y + 6
subtract 3y from both sides
simplify 5y - 15 - 3y to 2y - 15
add 15 to both sides
simplify 6 + 15 to 21
divide both sides by 2
switch sides
Answer: y = 21/2
*in decimal form this would be 10.5
how many slices does each pizza have? anyways if its 8 (normally)
8 x 3 = 24 / 5 = 4.2 slices each
or nah?
49–2ax –a^2–x^2
Extract the negative sign
= 49 - (a^2 +2ax +x^2)
Factor using a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = (a+b)^2
= 49 - (a+x)^2
Factor using a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)
= ( 7- (a + x)) * (7 + (a + x))
= ( 7- a - x) * (7 + a + x)
