Question

These equations take their y-values from the set (4, 5, 6, 7, 8). Arrange the equations in decreasing order of the values of y that make them true.
4y + (y - 1) = 29
4y = y + 1 = 13
(2y + 3) - 4 = 9​

Answer 1

Answer:

in order acb  

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a, c, b

Step-by-step explanation:

Collect terms, subtract the constant, divide by the y-coefficient.

(a) 4y + (y - 1) = 29   ⇒   y = 6

(c) (2y + 3) - 4 = 9​   ⇒   y = 5

(b) 4y - y + 1 = 13   ⇒   y = 4 . . . . . this equation is not what you have written

Additional comment

The second equation suffers from a typo, so your answer may vary.
