Answer:

To solve for y, you want to use the distributive property

First you want to distribute the 8 through the 3y-5 and the 9 through the y-5

8(3y-5)= 24y-40

9(y-5)= 9y-45

24y-40=9y-45 (get the x on one side, so first add 40 to each side)

24y=9y-5 (now subtract 9y to each side)

15y=-5 (divide both sides by 15)

y= -5/15= -1/3

Hope this helps ;)

Solve this and get 20 points

VikaD [51]

take x =initial deposit amount. then make equation:

x+75.5+55.25-25.15-18.65 = 210.85

simplify:

x+86.95 = 210.85

x=210.85 - 86.95

x=123.90

so Initial deposit amount is $123.90

check: 210.85+18.65+25.15-55.25-75.5 = 123.9

123.9 = 123.9

How do I show the work where 69 miles per hours is proportional to the number of hours

riadik2000 [5.3K]

<span>1. First, label the axis on your graph, with units:

time on the x-axis, in units of hours;

distance on the y-axis, in units of miles.

2. Draw a graph of distance vs. time. Distance after the first hour = 69 miles, distance after the 2nd hour = 138 miles, etc.

3. Observe that this graph is a STRAIGHT LINE with constant slope. Therefore the relationship is PROPORTIONAL.

For every other kind of graph -- i.e. not a straight line -- the relationship is NON-PROPORTIONAL.

Hope this helps. </span>
