PLEASE HELP!! Why do we multiply equations by -1? For example, if you need to re-arrange 2x + y = 3 into the form of (y=mx+b)...

I got y = 3 - 2x but the answer is 2x - 3 (it is multiplied by one.)

The thing is you need to get the equation equal to y so you need to add or substrate any number that is with y.but I don't think that's right.because I got this.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

$4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 Bracelets + 3 rings = $26

2 rings = $12

3 rings = x

To get the cost of 1 ring you divide 12 by 2 and the answer you get is 6.

The total cost of the 3 rings is $18( $6*3)

Then you subtract the cost of both 2 bracelets and 3 rings($26) from the cost of 3 rings($18). The answer is $8. ( THIS IS THE COST OF 2 BRACELETS)

<u>1 BRACELET= $4( $8/2)</u>

A ball will be drawn from the bag containing 20 balls numbered one through 20 if each ball is equally likely to be drawn what is
son4ous [18]

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 20 balls, numbered 1 through 20.

Of these, 10 are even, 4 are less than five, and 2 are both even and less than 5.

So the probability is:

P(even or <5) = P(even) + P(<5) − P(even and <5)

P(even or <5) = 10/20 + 4/20 − 2/20

P(even or <5) = 12/20

P(even or <5) = 3/5
