What does y equal if 5x+y=40

1 answer:

5 0

Y= -5x+40 you subtract 5x from both sides. Since 5x-5x cancels out it leaves you with a positive Y, and -5x cant be subtracted from 40 because of the variable,x.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are <em>n</em> students, then the number of pairs is $\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$ .

With 12 students, $\frac{12(12-1)}{2} = \frac{132}{2}=66$ pairs can be formed.

The reason the formula works is this: Each of the 12 students can be paired with 11 other students (no student is paired with him/her self). But counting 12 x 11 = 132 counts each pair <u>twice</u>. Example: student A can be paired with student B,..., student B can be paired with student A. The pair was counted two times.

See the attached image that shows pairings of 5 students. There are

5(5 - 1)/2 = 5(4)/2 = 10 pairs.
