I'd say what you would do is:
You can either
1. Add 15 and 18 together and then divide by 2
OR
2. Since there is a 3 number difference between 15 an 18, just add 3 to 18
Answer:
y =5x
Step-by-step explanation:

(5 - 0) = m(1 - 0)
5 = m(1)
5 = m

y - 5 = 5(x - 1)
y - 5 = 5x - 5
y = 5x -5 + 5
y = 5x
Answer:
I'm assuming you need to distribute. When simplified the expression is 42p-28
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
5 ( 2x - 8 ) + 15 = -15 (write the equation)
5 ( 2x - 8 ) = -30 (subtract by 15 on both sides)
2x - 8 = -6 (divide by 5 on both sides)
2x = 2 (add 8 to both sides)
x = 1 (divide by 2 on both sides)
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you are factoring the expression
Given
4y² + 26y + 30 ← factor out 2 from each term
= 2(2y² + 13y + 15) ← factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the y² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term.
product = 2 × 15 = 30 and sum = 13
the factors are 10 and 3
Use these factors to split the y- term
2y² + 10y + 3y + 15 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 2y(y + 5) + 3(y + 5) ← factor out (y + 5) from each term
= (y + 5)(2y + 3)
Thus
4y² + 26y + 30
= 2(y + 5)(2y + 3)
