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!

xeze [42]

Answer:

9 fruit baskets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Steve sold 36 fruit baskets for a school fundraiser.

Evie sold 25% of the number of baskets that Steve sold.

<u>Question asked:</u>

How many fruit baskets did Evie sell?

Solution:

<u>As given that Evie sold 25% of the number of baskets that Steve sold.</u>

Number of baskets sold by Evie = 25% of 36

                                                      =\frac{25}{100}\times36\\\\  =\frac{900}{100}\\ \\=9

Thus, 9 fruit baskets sold by Evie.

What is m∠V?
Bezzdna [24]
We know that
Applying the law of cosines

c²=a²+b²-2*a*b*cos C------> cos C=[a²+b²-c²]/[2*a*b]

in this problem

a=7.6 in

b=8.6 in

c=7.4 in

C=angle V

 cos C=[7.6²+8.6²-7.4²]/[2*7.6*8.6]----> 0.5887

C=arc cos (0.5887)--------> C=53.93°-------> C=53.9°


the answer is

angle V is 53.9°
