The first step to solving this is to multiply both sides of the equation by 3
8 + 10y = 9y - 12
now move the variable to the left side and change its sign
8 + 10y - 9y = -12
move the constant to the right side and change its sign
10y - 9y = -12 - 8
collect the like terms for y
y = -12 - 8 (it equals 1 when you subtract 10 from 9 which is the same is simply saying "y")
calculate the difference on the other side of the equals sign
y = -20
this means that the correct answer to your question is -20.
let me know if you have any further questions

The amount of trout y (in tons) caught in a lake from 1995 to 2014 can be modeled by the equation y = -0.08x2 + 1.6x + 10, where

For this case, the first thing we want to do is substitute the value of y = 15 in the equation.
We have then:
15 = -0.08x ^ 2 + 1.6x + 10
Rewriting we have:
0 = -0.08x ^ 2 + 1.6x + 10 - 15
0 = -0.08x ^ 2 + 1.6x - 5
The solutions are:
x1 = 3.876275643042054
x2 = 16.123724356957947
Nearest whole number:
x1 = 4
x2 = 16
were about 15 tons of trout caught in the lake in the years:
1995 + 4 = 1999
1995 + 16 = 2011
Answer:
The year 1999 and the year 2011

Which graph represents the solution set of the system of inequalities?

$y < \dfrac{2}{3}x\\\\y=\dfrac{2}{3}x\\\\for\ x=0\to y=\dfrac{2}{3}(0)=0\to(0,\ 0)\\\\for\ x=3\to y=\dfrac{2}{3}(3)=2\to(3,\ 2)\\\\y\geq-x+2\\\\y=-x+2\\\\for\ x=0\to y=-0+2=2\to(0,\ 2)\\\\for\ x=2\to y=-2+2=0\to(2,\ 0)$
