Answer: subtract 2x from that side to get 5y= 20-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

You subtract to get 5y = 20-2x. If you want y completely by itself divide it all by 5. 5y divides by 5, 20 divided by 5 and -2x by 5.

12x + 4 divided by 4 plus 20x + 5 divided by 5

Rasek [7]

12x + 4 ➗ 4 + 20x + 5 ➗ 5

1. PEMDAS (order of operations) solve the division problems

(4 divided by 4 & 5 divided by 5)
12x + 1 + 20x + 1

2. Swap around the order of operations as commutative property states that you can swap the order of an addition problem and get the same answer.

12x + 20x + 1 + 1

3. Add like terms

32x + 2

This is the most simplified answer you could get as you can not add 32x and 2 as they are not like terms.

Which set of lengths are not the side lengths of a right triangle? (A-28, 45, 53) (B-13, 84, 85) (C-36, 77, 85) (D-16, 61, 65) [

nikklg [1K]

Side lengths 16, 61, and 65 are not part of a right triangle.

A right triangle's sides should follow this formula, C being the largest number:

$a^{2} + b ^{2} = c^{2}$

$16^{2} = 256$

$61^{2} = 3721$

$65^{2} = 4225$

256 + 3721 = 3977

$3977 \neq 4225$
