Answer: y=3
Step-by-step explanation: 6(4.5y−12)=9
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
6(4.5y−12)=9
(6)(4.5y)+(6)(−12)=9(Distribute)
27y+−72=9
27y−72=9
Step 2: Add 72 to both sides.
27y−72+72=9+72
27y=81
Step 3: Divide both sides by 27.
27y/27 =81/27
Answer:Isaac applied the distributive property in Step 2.
<span>We are given that ||e|| = 1, ||f|| = 1. </span>
<span>Since ||e + f|| = sqrt(3/2), we have </span>
<span>3/2 = (e + f) dot (e + f) </span>
<span>= (e dot e) + 2(e dot f) + (f dot f) </span>
<span>= ||e||^2 + 2(e dot f) + ||f||^2 </span>
<span>= 1^2 + 2(e dot f) + 1^2 </span>
<span>= 2 + 2(e dot f). </span>
<span>So e dot f = -1/4. </span>
<span>Therefore, </span>
<span>||2e - 3f||^2 = (2e - 3f) dot (2e - 3f) </span>
<span>= 4(e dot e) - 12(e dot f) + 9(f dot f) </span>
<span>= 4||e||^2 - 12(e dot f) + 9||f||^2 </span>
<span>= 4(1)^2 - 12(-1/4) + 9(1)^2 </span>
<span>= 4 + 3 + 9 </span>
<span>= 16. </span>
