Alright, so first we'll have to get y on the other side
So
2x+y=-9
-y -y
+9 +9
2x+9=-y
Then divide is all by -1 so y is positive
-2x-9=y
Answer:
4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the height of the tower when finished.
We have been given that Priya takes a break when the tower is 2 and 1/2 feet tall, which is 5/8 of the height of the tower she wants to build.
This means that 5/8 of x equals 2 and 1/2. Let us represent this information in an equation.
5/8*x=2 and 1/2
Let us convert our given mixed fraction into an improper fraction.
5/8*x=5/2
Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 8/5.
8/5*5/8*x=5/2*8/5
x=8/2

Step-by-step explanation: no problem homie
Answer:
4=x y=325
Step-by-step explanation:
60x + 20 = 65x
group the variables
20=5x
because you subtracted 60x from both
4=x
because you divided 5 from both
now substitute 5 for x
65×5 is 325
y=325
