Answer:

B. -3 1/2y + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Our expression is: \frac{-1}{4} y-2\frac{1}{4} y+\frac{1}{2} (4-2y).

Let's first distribute out that parentheses. Remember that distribution is simply taking the sum of the product of the outside term with each of the inside terms. Here, the outside term is 1/2 and the inside terms are 4 and -2y:

\frac{1}{2} (4-2y)=\frac{1}{2} *4+\frac{1}{2} *(-2y)=2-y

Now, we have:

\frac{-1}{4} y-2\frac{1}{4} y+2-y

We want to combine like terms, which means combining all the terms with y in them:

\frac{-1}{4} y-2\frac{1}{4} y-y+2=\frac{-1}{4} y-\frac{9}{4} y-\frac{4}{4} y+2=\frac{-1-9-4}{4} y+2=\frac{-14}{4} y+2=\frac{-7}{2} y+2

Remember that -7/2 can be written as the mixed number -3 1/2, so our final answer is:

-3 1/2y + 2

The answer is thus B.

For the first one:

m is the slope, or how much the line goes up compared to goes right.  In this case, the line goes up 40 every time it goes right 10.  We write this as a fraction so 40/10, which simplifies to 4.  Therefore the equation would be y = 4x.

the total cost c a painter charges to paint a house depends on the number h of hours its takes to paint the house. this situatio
Ilya [14]

given that

c = 15h + 245

when h = 30.35  , cost c = (15 × 30.35) + 245

= 453.75 + 245 = 698.75

so cost if painter works = 698.75 unit of currency.
