1) -5y - 9 = - (y - 1)

2) solve the parenthesis of the right side

-5y - 9 = - y + 1

3) add 5y to both sides

5y - 5y - 9 = -y + 5y + 1

- 9 = 4y + 1

4) Subtract 1 from both sides

-9 - 1 = 4y + 1 - 1

-10 = 4y

5) Divide both sides by 4

-10 / 4 = 4y/4

- 2.5 = y

Answer: y = - 2.5

Solve by substitution or elimination<br> 4X – 3y = 7<br> 4x + y = 11
Simora [160]

Answer:

(5/2 , 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

4X – 3y = 7

4x + y = 11

———————

Multiply a -1 to the bottom equation to get the 4x as a negative so it cancels out.

4x - 3y = 7

-4x - y = -11

——————

-4y = -4

Divide by -4

y = 1

Substitute the value of y into one of the equations and solve

4x - 3(1) = 7

4x -3 = 7

4x = 10

Divide by 4

X = 10/4

Simplify by dividing by 2

x = 5/2

Therefore the answer is (5/2, 1 )

I got 16.8 , but she’ll need roughly 17 gallons of paint :)

how i did it :

1. so you know she’ll need 4/5 per book case, and there are 16 bookcases.
2. So you do 16 x 5, then you get 84
3. and you divide 84 by 5. and you’ll get 16.8, that’s how many gallons of paint she needs
