Hi
2/3 y+y-4=31
Simplify both sides of the equation
2/3 y-4=31
Combine like terms
(2/3 y+y)+(-4)=31
5/3 y-4=31
Add 4 to both sides
5/3 y-4+4=31+4
5/3 y=35
Multiply both sides 3/5
(3/5)*(5/3 y)=(3/5)*35
y=21
I hope that's help !
To solve this we can make it into an equation, which looks like this
y = 2x (for Rebecca)
y = x + 10 (for Alice)
The we subtract one equation from the other to solve
0 = x - 10
10 = x
x = 10
Now we replace x in whichever equation and we get 20
So, each girl will read 20 books for them to be at the same book.
Hope this helps, remember that Jesus loves you
The first step to solving this is to remember our mathematical rules. They state that when the term has a coefficient of -1,, the number doesn't have to be written but the sign needs to remain. This will change the expression to the following:
x - v + 4 + 7y - 3
Now subtract the numbers 4 and 3 from each other.
x - v + 1 + 7y
Since this expression cannot be simplified any further,, the correct answer to your question would be x - v + 1 + 7y.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
