Five less than a number n
<span>A)x-y+3 is your answer
Proof:
(5 x)/4 - 8 y - x/4 + 7 y + 3
Put each term in (5 x)/4 - 8 y - x/4 + 7 y + 3 over the common denominator 4: (5 x)/4 - 8 y - x/4 + 7 y + 3 = (5 x)/4 - (32 y)/4 - (x)/4 + (28 y)/4 + 12/4:
(5 x)/4 - (32 y)/4 - x/4 + (28 y)/4 + 12/4
(5 x)/4 - (32 y)/4 - x/4 + (28 y)/4 + 12/4 = (5 x - 32 y - x + 28 y + 12)/4:
(5 x - 32 y - x + 28 y + 12)/4
Grouping like terms, 5 x - 32 y - x + 28 y + 12 = (28 y - 32 y) + (5 x - x) + 12:
((28 y - 32 y) + (5 x - x) + 12)/4
28 y - 32 y = -4 y:
(-4 y + (5 x - x) + 12)/4
5 x - x = 4 x:
(-4 y + 4 x + 12)/4
Factor 4 out of -4 y + 4 x + 12:
(4 (-y + x + 3))/4
(4 (-y + x + 3))/4 = 4/4×(3 + x - y) = 3 + x - y:
Answer: 3 + x - y

Answer:
3 1/2 Batches.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 3/4 (or 1.75) divided by 1/2 (or 0.5) equals 3.5
1.)divide by 5 on each side to obtain
Abs(2x+3)=45
2x+3=45 or 2x+3=-45
2x=42 or 2x=-48
x=21 or x=-24

Answer: y = 14</h3>
===================================
Explanation:
The two angles involving x add up to 180 degrees. This is because they are same side interior angles (and because the horizontal lines are parallel)
So,
(angle BCF) + (angle EFC) = 180
(5x - 66) + (2x + 50) = 180
5x - 66 + 2x + 50 = 180
7x - 16 = 180
7x - 16+16 = 180+16 ... add 16 to both sides
7x = 196
7x/7 = 196/7 .... divide both sides by 7
x = 28
This will be used to help find y
Notice how the angles BCF and ACD are vertical angles, therefore they are congruent or the same measure
angle ACD = angle BCF
9y - 52 = 5x - 66
9y - 52 = 5*28 - 66 ..... replace x with 28 (since x = 28)
9y - 52 = 140 - 66
9y - 52 = 74
9y - 52+52 = 74+52 .... add 52 to both sides
9y = 126
9y/9 = 126/9 .... divide both sides by 9
y = 14
