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.)

Homework help, no need to explain answer
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Square each side

Subtract 1  from each side

Divide by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt(3x+1) = 4

Square each side

(sqrt(3x+1))^2 = 4^2

3x+1 = 16

Subtract 1  from each side

3x+1-1 = 16-1

3x= 15

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 15/3

x = 5

Units must be consistent. If the unit for p is dollars, the unit for i is dollars and the unit for t is years, what must the uni
umka2103 [35]

Assuming you're concerned with interest rate problems, r is generally involved in something like the formula ...

... i = prt

So, r will have the units of ...

... r = i/(pt) = (dollars)/(dollars·year) = 1/year

That is, r is <em>(some fraction) per year</em>.

_____

Often, the fraction is expressed as a percentage. The fraction will be unitless (as percentages are), leaving the units of r as year⁻¹.
