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!
Step-by-step explanation:
F= 9/5(C + 32)
5/9 F = C + 32
C = 5/9 F - 32
Answer:
x = -2.5
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
We can remove the denominators by multiplying everything by it.
Solve:
Let's make one side equal to 0.
Solve by factoring, and then the zero product property.
Multiply 2 and -10. You get -20. Think of two number that multiply to -20, and add to 1. If we think about the standard form of a quadratic,
, think two numbers that equal "ac" and add up to "b".
Using the zero product property, set each factor to 0 and solve for x.
- 2x + 5 = 0
2x = -5
x = -5/2 = -2.5 - x - 2 = 0
x = 2
The two answers are x = -2.5, and x = 2.
