The first step to solving this is to multiply both sides of the equation by 3
8 + 10y = 9y - 12
now move the variable to the left side and change its sign
8 + 10y - 9y = -12
move the constant to the right side and change its sign
10y - 9y = -12 - 8
collect the like terms for y
y = -12 - 8 (it equals 1 when you subtract 10 from 9 which is the same is simply saying "y")
calculate the difference on the other side of the equals sign
y = -20
this means that the correct answer to your question is -20.

Total distance covered by <span>George and Carmen
</span>x + y = 350
And they biked 80 kilometers more than they bussed
<span>80 + y = x </span>
Putting the value of x=80 + y in <span>x + y = 350:
</span>We get:
<span>80 + y + y = 350 </span>
<span>2y = 270 </span>
<span>y = 135 km</span>
<span>Substituting y = 135 in x + y = 350 </span>
<span>x + 135 = 350</span>
<span>x = 215 km </span>
Thus George and Carmen biked for 215 km and bussed for 135 km.

There are 5 even numbers from 1 to 10.
The number of ways to draw all even numbers is 5!/(2!*3!) = 10
The number of ways to draw from the hat is 10!/(7!*3!) = 128
Therefore the probability is 10/128 = 5/64 or roughly 7.81%
