Is 1/4(8y-12) equivalent to 2y-12 explain why or why not

Hey there!

2y - 12 is completely simplified. Now, we have to simplify 1/4(8y-12) using the distributive property, which is defined as:

a(b + c) = ab+ac

Therefore, we have: 1/4(8y) - 1/4(12)

Now for some vocabulary. The word of means multiplication. We have here 1/4 of 8y, and 1/4 of 12. Which means we have 1/4 times 8y = 2y, and 1/4 of twelve which equals 3.

That gives us 2y - 3

That proves that they're not equivalent.

Hope this helps!

3y+2=2y-5x <br><br>solve and show work
pentagon [3]

Alrighty, first off you would move the 2y to the left side and change its sign and move the constant (2) to the other side and change its sign.

3y - 2y = 5x - 2

Next you would collect the like terms for y.

y = 5x - 2

And because you cannot do anything else with the problem that is the final answer: y = 5x - 2

Hope this helps! :)

Which points define the solution set
Lemur [1.5K]

There is a line and a parabola in the graph.

So, we will get the solution set from the point of intersection of both line and parabola.

Notice that the parabola and the line intersecting at two points E(1, 5) and C(-0.5,2).

So, the solution set is E(1, 5) and C(-0.5,2).
