Answer:
y = 2 - 1/2x
Step-by-step explanation:
So we are given the equation 3x + 6y = 12 and are ask to find y.
To find y you must isolate it first.
3x + 6y = 12
(Subtract 3x to isolate the y term)
6y = 12 - 3x
(Divide both sides by 6 to isolate the variable)
y = 2 - 3/6x
(Simplify)
y = 2 - 1/2x
And that is your answer since there is a second variable.
So, we are given 5^8. It was happy and content. But then... we had to write it as a quotient of two exponential terms with the same base in four different ways and use negative or zero exponents and ahhhhhh!!!
... anyways...
We'll build a quotient of two exponential terms with the same base 5. Something like this:
5^a / 5^b
We need them to make 5^8 when we are done. I'll first use a zero exponent.
[1] Now, zero exponents are nice since they make things equal 1. Like 5^0 = 1. Well, obviously, 5^8 / 1 = 5^8. So, our first quotient can be:
5^8 / 5^0
Done.
[2] Let's try this on its head. This one's a little weird. Remember that negative exponents flip things upside down. So 5^-8 = 1/5^8 and 1/5^-8 = 5^8 for example. In fact... that's the answer!
5^0 / 5^-8 = 5^8
Done.
[3] Let's try to not use 0s or 8s. We can be clever and do something like this:
5^-1 / 5^-9
What the heck is that? Well, we just flip them and get:
5^-1 / 5^-9 = 5^9 / 5^1 = 5^8
Done.
[4] Can you come up with one last trick on your own? Try it!
First you would take 321 and subtract 5
316
they you would divide by 2
158
there are 158 boys
to find the # of girls take 158 and add 5

The inequalities that are given in this item are given below,
y < 5x - 1
y ≥ -3x +4
We dropped the inequalities sign to solve for the values of x and y for the intersection.
y = 5x - 1
y = 3x + 4
Substituting the y from the first equation to the y of the second equation,
5x - 1 = 3x + 4
2x = 5
x = 5/2
Substituting for y,
y = (5)(5/2) - 1
y = 25/2 - 1 = 11.5
The intersection is (5/2, 11.5)
The solutions of the system of inequalities lie in the 3rd and 4th quadrants.
