When you add a positive and a negative like you did here it basically is the same as subtracting 5 from 3

Because 5-3=2, so 5 is negative the 2 has to be negative because 5 is bigger than 3. Hope this helps!

Solve for y hdgkgsydkydutskgxtisit
Feliz [49]

You said  X = (5y+1) / (y-2)

Multiply each side by (y-2):

X(y-2) = (5y+1)

Eliminate parentheses:

Xy - 2X = 5y + 1

Add  2X  to each side:

Xy = 5y + 1 + 2X

Subtract  5y  from each side:

(X-5)y = 1 + 2X

Divide each side by  (X-5):

<em>y = (1+2X) / (X-5)  </em>

A ​used-droid dealership buys a droid for ​$2900 and then sells it for ​$4300. What is the percent​ increase?
Anna71 [15]

The percent increase is 48.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Purchase price of used-droid = $2900

Selling price of used=droid = $4300

Profit = Selling price - purchase price

Profit = 4300-2900 = $1400

Percent increase = \frac{Profit}{Purchase\ price}*100

Percent\ increase=\frac{1400}{2900}*100\\\\Percent\ increase=\frac{140000}{2900}\\\\Percent\ increase=48.275\%

Rounding off to nearest hundredth;

Percent increase = 48.28%

The percent increase is 48.28

Find the <br> x-intercept and <br> y-intercept of the line.
vova2212 [387]
<h3><u>The x intercept is at (-7, 0).</u></h3><h3><u>The y intercept is at (0, 1).</u></h3>

To find both the x and the y intercept, we need to solve one at a time.

For the x intercept, we need to make the value of y equal to 0, and solve for x.

-x + 7y = 7

-x + 7(0) = 7

-x = 7

Multiply both sides by -1.

x = -7

The x intercept is -7.


Now for the y intercept.

-(0) + 7y = 7

7y = 7

Divide both sides by 1.

y = 1

The y intercept is at 0, 1.
