Answer:
y = (2/5) OR y = (6/5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is isolating the expression within the absolute value bars. The first thing we can do is subtract both sides by 8. If we do that, we get -2|4-5y| = -4. Now, to completely isolate the absolute value, we would have to divide by -2. This yields |4 - 5y| = 2. Finally, we can remove the absolute value bars. However, to do this, we need to first understand what an absolute value bar does to an equation. Lets say that |x| = 2. Absolute value describes the DISTANCE of some quantity from 0 (on the number line). Therefore, x (which is inside the absolute value bars) can be either positive or negative 2 (they are BOTH two units away from 0). Similarly, in this case, (4 - 5y) can either be 2 or -2 (because the absolute value of both is 2). Now we have two possible solutions to solve for:
4 - 5y = 2 OR 4 - 5y = -2
5y = 2 OR 5y = 6
y = (2/5) OR y = (6/5)
If we plug both of these answers back into the equation we can see that they both check out.
Answer:
in order from greatest to least:
3.5 0 -2 -7/3 -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) 2-5 = -3
b) 3(4) + 2(4) = 20
c) (3(5)+2)(5-4) = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the variables for their values and then solve from there. Hopefully this helps, I don't know if I answered your question fully.
Take 3/7 and multiply it by 2 to find out how much she knits in one hour. Then take that value and multiply by 12 to find out how much she knits in 12 hours.
3/7 x 2 = 6/7
6/7 x 12 = 72/7 or 10 2/7.
