Answer:
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
-7 = -4y + 5
Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate variable y:
-7 - 5 = -4y + 5 - 5
-12 = -4y + 0
-12 = -4y
Divide both sides by -4 to isolate variable y:
-12 ÷ -4 = -4y ÷ -4
(Negative ÷ Negative = Positive)
3 = 1y
3 = y
Check your work:
-7 = -4(3) + 5
Use PEMDAS:
-7 = -12 + 5
-7 = -7
Correct!
Add 3 1/2 and 2 1/3,
Firstly, find the common denominator. It is is 6
3 3/6 + 2 2/6
this gets you 5 5/6.
Take this away from 8:
8 - 5 5/6 = 2 1/6
So 2 1/6 of the board is left over.
the answer is 34.83 I believe
