Answer:

y = -1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

y/5 +3/10 = (y+2)/7

The LCD is 10·7 = 70. Multiplying the equation by 70 gives ...

14y +21 = 10(y +2)

14y +21 = 10y +20 . . . . eliminate parentheses

4y + 21 = 20 . . . . subtract 10y

4y = -1 . . . . . . . . . subtract 21

y = -1/4 . . . . . . . . .divide by 4

_____

<em>Check</em>

(-1/4)/5 +3/10 = (-1/4 +2)/7 . . . . . substitute for y

-1/20 +6/20 = (7/4)/7 . . . simplify a bit, rewrite 3/10

5/20 = 1/4 . . . . . . . . . . true

Questions:

(a) What is a simplified expression for (x + y) – (x – y)?

(b) Carlotta thinks that $3y + 5y^3$ is the same as $8y^4$ . Which statement shows that it is NOT the same?

Answer:

$(x + y) - (x - y) =2y$

$3y + 5y^3 \ne 8y^4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a):

Given

$(x + y) - (x - y)$

Required

Simplify

$(x + y) - (x - y)$

Open brackets

$(x + y) - (x - y) = x + y - x + y$

Collect Like Terms

$(x + y) - (x - y) = x - x+ y + y$

$(x + y) - (x - y) = y + y$

$(x + y) - (x - y) =2y$

Solving (b):

Given

$3y + 5y^3$ and $8y^4$

Required

Which expression shows they are not the same

The expression that shows this is:

$3y + 5y^3 \ne 8y^4$

Take for instance; y=2

Substitute 2 for y in $3y + 5y^3 \ne 8y^4$

$3*2 + 5*2^3 \ne 8*2^4$

Evaluate all exponents

$9 + 5*8 \ne 8*16$

$9 + 40 \ne 128$

$49 \ne 128$

The above expression supports $3y + 5y^3 \ne 8y^4$
