The term (2 + 8) is described as the total amount of pieces of fabric. It makes it easier to put this term this way so you wouldn't have to do (8 x 5) + (2 x 5) and do the distributive property.
Answer:
44
Step-by-step explanation:
...........................
6y-10=y+25
subtract y from both sides
5y-10=25
add 10 to both sides
5y=35
divide both sides by 5
y=7
Answer:
(a)4
Step-by-step explanation:
First you would distribute the 2 within the parentheses and it becomes 14n-46 <= 14-16n. Then you would find the smallest coeficent and do the inverse operation so you would have to add 16n to 14n and get 30n. Your equation is now 30n-46<=14. Now you want to isolate the variable by doing the inverse operation of -46. You would then add 46 to positive 14 and get 60. Your eqaution now is 30n<=60. Your last step is to divide 30 on each side which leaves you with n<=2.
2 is less than or equal to 2
-2 is less than or equal to 2
-4 is less than or equal to 2
4 is NOT less than or equal to 2 it is GREATER
Hopefully, that helps.
