3=−(−y+6)

Simplify:

3=−(−y+6)

3=y+−6(Distribute)

3=y−6

Flip the equation.

y−6=3

Add 6 to both sides.

y−6+6=3+6

y=9

3 = -(-y + 6)

First, simplify the brackets. / Your problem should look like: 3 = y - 6
Second, add 6 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3 + 6 = y
Third, add 3 + 6 to get 9. / Your problem should look like: 9 = y
Fourth, switch the side. / Your problem should look like: y = 9

Jeremy is driving to his friends house that is 60 miles away from his home the scale on Jeremy's map is 1 1/2 inches equivalent

defon

Answer:

The distance between their house on the map is 10 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the distance from Jeremy's friend house to his we can apply a rule of three in a way that 60 miles is related to "x" inches in the same proportion as "1 1/2" inches is related to 9 miles. Before applying that it'll be for the best if we convert the mixed fraction to a pure fraction as shown below:

$d = 1\frac{1}{2} = 1 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}$

Creating the rule of three:

$\frac{60}{9} \frac{\text{miles}}{\text{miles}} = \frac{x}{\frac{3}{2}} \frac{\text{inches}}{\text{inches}}\\\\9*x = \frac{60*3}{2}\\\\x = \frac{180}{18}\\\\x = 10 \text{ inches}$
