Hi!
Shawna is correct because since it's multiplied to the 5-n you have to do the opposite which is division.
Dexter is also correct because after distributing you can continue solving, there is nothing wrong with that.
Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
First , Subtract y from both sides:
−3x = −10 −y
Second, Divide both sides by −3
x = 
That's ur answer
Hope this helped u!!!
Good luck!!
Remember to include the positive and negative roots
(7x-2)^2=256
sqrt both sides
7x-2=+/-16
add 2 to both sides
7x=2+/-16
divdide both sides by 7
x=(2+/-16)/7)
x=(2+16)/7=18/7=2 and 4/7
x=(2-16)/7=-14/7=-2
x=2 and 4/7 or -2
Since the operation between the two sets of parentheses is addition, we don't have to do anything with it, and can remove the parentheses.
Our new expression is: 2y^2+9y+4-3y^2-3y-9
Now, we just add like terms together to solve for the simplest form of the expression.
2y^2+9y+4-3y^2-3y-9
(2-3)y^2+(9-3)y+(4-9)
-y^2+6y-5
Our final answer is -y^2+6y-5.
