-15x - 3y = 3
-15x - 3(5x-1) = 3 [input y]
-15x - 15x - 3 = 3 [distribute 3 over 5x and -1]
-30x - 3 = 3 [combine like terms]
-30x = 6 [add 3 to eliminate the negative]
x =
[divide by -30 to get x alone]
x =
[reduce the fraction]
Hopefully this is helpful enough to get you to your answer
Answer:
26 + y
----------
9y
Step-by-step explanation:
Your using parentheses here would remove a great deal of ambiguity. Looking at your 8-y/3y + y+2/9y - 2/6y, I have interpreted it to mean:
(8-y)/3y + (y+2)/9y - (2/6)y. For example, without parentheses, your 8-y/3y might be interpreted differently, as 8 - y/(3y), or 8 - 1/3.
Looking at (8-y)/3y + (y+2)/9y - (2/6)y again, we see three different denominators: 3y, 9y and 6 y. The LCD here is 9y. Multiplying all three terms of (8-y)/3y + (y+2)/9y - (2/6)y by the LCD, we get:
3(8-y) + (y+2) + 3y. We must now divide this by the LCD:
3(8-y) + (y+2) + 3y
--------------------------
9y
Next we need to perform the indicated multiplication:
24 - 3y + y + 2 + 3y
----------------------------
9y
and then to combine like terms:
24 + 2 - 3y + y + 3y, 26 + y
---------------------------- or -----------
9y 9y
Answer:
p =2 p=-18
Step-by-step explanation:
|p+8|
-------------- = 5
2
Multiply each side by 2
|p+8|
-------------*2 = 5*2
2
|p+8| =10
There is a positive and a negative solution
p+8=10 p+8=-10
Subtract 8 from each side
p+8-8=10-8 p+8-8=-10-8
p =2 p=-18
For this case we first calculate the rate in blocks per minutes.
rate = (15.5) / (35) = 0.443 blocks per minutes.
Then, we can go to blocks per hour.
Remember: 1h = 60min.
rate = 0.443 * (1/60) = 0.00738 blocks per hour.
answer
his rate in blocks per hour is 0.00738 blocks per hour.
