Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression:
y^2 - 5y - 4
y = 6
Substitute y = 6 into the expression
y^2 - 5y - 4
6^2 - 5(6) - 4
(6*6) - (5*6) - 4
36 - 30 - 4
36 - 34
2
The value of the expression y^2 - 5y - 4 is 2 when y = 6
y=-4-x
y=2x-1
-4-x=2x-1
3x=-3
x=-1
y=-3
The type of equation is consistent because they intersect at ( -1,-3 )
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total amount be x
Then Ali got 1/8x With 7/8x left
Juma got 7/40x with 7/10x left
Musa, Khalid and Mustafa got 7/30x each
since 
7x=18000

<span>Simplifying
4(y + -3) = 6(y + 2)
Reorder the terms:
4(-3 + y) = 6(y + 2)
(-3 * 4 + y * 4) = 6(y + 2)
(-12 + 4y) = 6(y + 2)
Reorder the terms:
-12 + 4y = 6(2 + y)
-12 + 4y = (2 * 6 + y * 6)
-12 + 4y = (12 + 6y)
Solving
-12 + 4y = 12 + 6y
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6y' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 4y + -6y = 12 + 6y + -6y
Combine like terms: 4y + -6y = -2y
-12 + -2y = 12 + 6y + -6y
Combine like terms: 6y + -6y = 0
-12 + -2y = 12 + 0
-12 + -2y = 12
Add '12' to each side of the equation.
-12 + 12 + -2y = 12 + 12
Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0
0 + -2y = 12 + 12
-2y = 12 + 12
Combine like terms: 12 + 12 = 24
-2y = 24
Divide each side by '-2'.
y = -12
Simplifying
y = -12</span>
48 inches to 30 inches is a decrease.
percent decrease = change/original value x 100%
= (48 - 30)/48 x 100%
= 18/48 x 100%
= 37.5% decrease
