Answer:

y=\frac{4}{37}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2}{3}(2y+1)=\frac{3}{7}(2-y)

\frac{4}{3}y+\frac{2}{3}  =\frac{6}{7}- \frac{3}{7}y

Add \frac{3}{7}y on both sides and subtract \frac{2}{3} on both sides.

(\frac{3}{7}y- \frac{2}{3})+\frac{4}{3}y+\frac{2}{3}  =\frac{6}{7}- \frac{3}{7}y+(\frac{3}{7}y- \frac{2}{3})

\frac{3}{7}y+\frac{4}{3}y=\frac{6}{7}-\frac{2}{3}

Solve the fractions.

\frac{(3)(3)+(7)(4)}{(7)(3)}y=\frac{(6)(3)-(7)(2)}{(7)(3)}

\frac{9+28}{21} y=\frac{18-14}{21}

\frac{37}{21}y =\frac{4}{21}

Multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction with the variable to isolate the variable. The reciprocal is the inverted fraction.

\frac{21}{37}*\frac{37}{21}y  =\frac{4}{21}*\frac{21}{37}

y=\frac{4}{37}

first u have to distribute

4/3y+2/3= 6/7-3/7y

now subtract 2/3 on both sides

4/3y+2/3-2/3=6/7- 2/3-3/7y

4/3y= 6/7- 2/3-3/7y

u need to have common denominator

-2/3= - 14/21

6/7=18/21

18/21-14/21= 4/21

4/3y=4/21-3/7y

add 3/7y to both sides

u need to have common denominator

4/3y= 28/21y

3/7y= 9/21y

28/21y+9/21y= 37/21y

37/21y= 4/21

multiply 21/37 to both sides

37/21y times 21/37= 4/21 times 21/37

  • y=84/777
  • y= 9/111
  • y=3/37

How do I do a ratio?​
Kamila [148]
A ratio is comparing one thing to another (numbers in this case). You can write ratios in many ways
here’s three different ways.
There are four girls and and 2 boys.
The ratio of girls to boys is:
4:2
4 to 2
4/2

*THE RATIO MUST ALWAYS BE IN ORDER!!! If boys come first in the problem WRITE THE BOYS NUMBER FIRST! If girls come first, WRITE THE GIRLS FIRST IN THE RATIO!!! (That’s a very common mistake) hope this helps!

Answer:

10x^{2}-34

Step-by-step explanation:

Because we are told equivalent expressions for y and z we can plug those in to 2(y+z).

2((3x^{2}+x^{2}-5)+(x^{2}-12))

Then simplify by combining like terms of the expressions. Values ending in x^2 can be combined with each other.

2(5x^{2}-17)

Now we can distribute the 2 by multiplying each value in the parentheses by 2.

10x^{2}-34
