Describe two different ways to solve: -10=1/4(8y-12)

1 answer:

3 0

There are two ways to approach this question. The first is to divide both sides of the equation by 1/4, which is the same as multiplying by 4.
4*(-10)=4*(1/4)(8y-12)
-40=1(8y-12)
-40=8y-12
-40+12=8y-12+12
-28=8y
-28/8=8y/8
-3.5=y
Another method is to distribute 1/4 to each term within the parentheses.
-10=8y*(1/4) - 12*(1/4)
-10=2y - 3
-10+3=2y - 3 +3
-7=2y
-7/2= 2y/2
-3.5=y
I hope this is helpful!

The Hydro water department has a monthly service charge of $13.90 and a volume charge of $1.45 for every 100 cubic feet of water

erik [133]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you can disregard the initial $13.90 cost because we're only looking for an INCREASE in price. If the Johnson family used 200 cubic feet MORE of water, we need to multiply 2 * 1.45 which gets us 2.90. We multiply 2 by 1.45 because 200 represented in x is 2, since x is represented in hundreds.
