The total number of gallons of paint needed for the big room is 3x and the number of gallons of paint needed for the small room is 2y. 
                                   3x + 2y = 16
Given the sizes of the room, the relation should be that,
                                    x = 2y
Solving the equation,
                                      3(2y) + 2y = 16
                                               y = 2
Therefore x is equal to 4 gallons. 
With the condition that only the bigger room is painted, the number of gallons of paint used should be 12 gallons and what is left should be 4 gallons.

What is y-4= -2(x+7) written in standard form
belka [17]

Answer:

2x + y = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify −2(x+7)

y−4=−2x−14

Move all terms containing variables to the left side of the equation.

2x+y−4= −14

Move all terms not containing a variable to the right side of the equation.

2x + y = −10
