The lettering for m and b in this equation are mostly nonsensical to us today, but here:

m is your slope (rise/run, steepness) and b is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis aka when x=0).

What does y equal y-16-3y=0

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

y = - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 16 - 3y = 0

Group like terms

y - 3y - 16 = 0

Add similar elements: y - 3y = - 2y

- 2y - 16 = 0

Add 16 to both sides

- 2y - 16 + 16 = 0 + 16

Simplify

- 2y = 16

Divide both sides by - 2

$\frac{-2y}{-2}$ = $\frac{16}{-2}$

Simplify $\frac{-2y}{-2}$ : y

$\frac{-2y}{-2}$

Apply the fraction rule: $\frac{-a}{-b} = \frac{a}{b}$

= $\frac{2y}{2}$

Divide the numbers: $\frac{2}{2} = 1$

= y

Simplify $\frac{16}{-2}$ : - 8

$\frac{16}{-2}$

Apply the fraction rule: $\frac{-a}{-b} = \frac{a}{b}$

$-\frac{16}{2}$

Divide the numbers: $\frac{16}{2}$ = 8

= - 8

y = - 8

The table below shows the combination of a dry prepackaged mix and water to make concrete. The mix says for every 1 gallon of wa

egoroff_w [7]

Let's assign a variable x to the number of multiples for each pound of dry mix and water. With that being the said, the question for finding the total pounds would be:

Total pounds = x*Pounds of dry mix + x*Pounds of water
Total pounds = 60x + 8x = 68x = 14 + 1/6 = 85/6
x = 85/6 / 68
x = 5/24

Thus, the pounds of dry mix is 60*5/24 = 25/2 lbs, while the pounds of water is 8*5/24 = 5/3 pounds.
