Answer:
y equals -1.16 (repeating decimal)
Step-by-step explanation:
I got the answer by first solving what is in the parentheses. 42-6=36. After this, I subtracted 36 on both sides to get the variable (y) by itself. After I did this, I had 24y = -28. So, I divided both sides by 24 (24y). The y was left by itself and -28/24=1.16 (repeating decimal).
<em><u>Therefore, y=1.16,1.17 when rounded, or -7/6 as a fraction</u></em>
The rectangle problem:
First, create some variables.
w = width
l = length
Then you know that the length is 3 times the width, so
l = 3w
The equation for perimeter is
P = 2(l+w)
Now you use substitution, substituting the 3w for l because you found that earlier.
P = 2((3w) + w)
And simplify.
P = 2(4w)
P = 8w
And you know P = 30 because they told you that.
30 = 8w
w = 15/4 inches, or 3.75 inches
Now substitute that value back into that first equation,
l = 3w
l = 3(15/4)
l = 45/4 inches, or 11.25 inches.
The dimensions are 11.25in for length and 3.75in for width.

The volleyball problem:
100 minutes of stretching and scrimmaging combined, and you know 10 have to be stretching, so 90 is scrimmaging.
s = scrimmaging
T = total time
s = 2/3T (they gave you this)
90 = 2/3T
T = (90*3)/2
T = 270/2
T = 135 minutes, or 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Answer:
:( finger
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's use x as the number of questions she answered correctly. If we make an equation of out the question, it would be 8.7x+13=108.7 To solve the equation subtract 13 from both sides. So it will leave you with 8.7x=108.7-13, which is 8.7x=95.7. Divide both sides by 8.7, which will give you x=11. She answered 11 questions correctly.
