Solving for y right?
2y = 3x + 4 - x
2y = 2x + 4
y = 2x + 4 over 2
y = 2 (x + 2) over 2
y = x + 2
y - 3 = 2x - 6 over 2
y - 3 = 2(x - 3) over 2
y - 3 = x - 3
y = x
x - y - 2 = 2(2x + 1)
-y - 2 = 2(2x + 1) - x
-y = 2(2x + 1) - x + 2
y = -2(2x + 1) + x - 2
Answer: My friend is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive.</em>

11c-8
11c is the product of both 11 and c, and the 8 less than the product is shown with -8
Answer:
The original fraction is 13/27
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the fraction be x/y. This means that the numerator is x and the denominator is y.
One-fifth of the sum of the numerator and the denominator of a particular fraction is 8. This means that
1/5 (x+y) = 8
Cross multiplying with 5,
x+y = 5×8 = 40 - - - - - - - -1
If the numerator is subtracted from 22, the original fraction becomes 1/3. This means that
(22-x)/y = 1/3
Cross multiplying with y and 3,
3(22-x) = y×1
66-3x = y - - - - - -2
Substituting y = 66-3x into equation 1, it becomes
x + 66 - 3x = 40
x -3x = 40-66
-2x = -26
x = 26/2 = 13
y = 40 - x = 40 - 13
= 27
The original fraction is 13/27
