first, spread the parenthesis. y+2=1/2x-1.5
second, add 1.5 to both sides. y+3.5=1/2x
third, multiply by 2. 2y+7=x
if you are solving for y, do not do the third step, instead, subtract by 3.5. y=x-3.5
hope this helps!
ANSWER: x=2y+7 or y=x-3.5
Answer:
8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Oliver rolls his ball 1/9th of the distance Fabienne rolls his, so just divide 72 by 9 to get your answer.
Answer:
<u>infinitely many solutions</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations :
- 3x + 2y = 7
- -4.5x - 3y = -10.5
Multiplying Equation 1 times 3 and Equation 2 times 2 :
- 9x + 6y = 21
- -9x - 6y = -21
Putting the equations in standard form after simplifying :
- 6y = -9x + 21 ⇒ <u>y = -1.5x + 3.5</u>
- -6y = 9x - 21 ⇒ <u>y = -1.5x + 3.5</u>
<u />
As both equations are the same, the system will have <u>infinitely many solutions</u>.
False because 6 is divisible by 2 and 3, but not 12
