Hello!
(4y + 8) - (7y - 12) = 11 is 1(4y + 8) - 1(7y - 12) = 11
1(4y + 8) - 1(7y - 12) = 11 Given
4y + 8 - 7y + 12 = 11 Distribute the 1 and the -1
-3y + 20 = 11 Combine like terms
-3y = -9 Subtract 20 from both sides
y = 3 Divide both sides by -3
Answer:
y = 3
1. Daxton is paid 8 dollars per hour.
2. Allison can type 45 words per minute.
3. 1,500 flyers can be printed per minute.
4. He traveled 45 miles per gallon of gas.
Explanation: You divide the two numbers that are being used in the word problem.
Hey there!
To solve this expression, you must follow your orders of operations or PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction).
In the case of <span>5[3(14.5+7)-3]-7.4, you not only have parenthesis, but you also have brackets. To start, you would first simplify what is in the parenthesis:
</span><span>5[3(14.5+7)-3]-7.4
5[3(21.5)-3]-7.4
Now, simplify what is in the bracket, starting by multiplying 3(21.5) since multiplication comes before addition and subtraction:
</span><span>5[3(21.5)-3]-7.4
5[64.5-3]-7.4
5[61.5]-7.4
Now, multiply 5*61.5 since multiplication comes next:</span>
<span>5[61.5]-7.4
307.5-7.4
And finally, subtract what is left since it is your final operation remaining to get 300.1 as your final answer.
Hope this helps and have a marvelous day!
