Answer: 5p - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Brendan has six less than five times the number of pencils that Riley has.

P = the number of pencils Riley has.

The algebraic expression that represents the number of pencils Brendan has in terms of p, the number of pencils that Riley has would be:

= (5 × p) - 6

= 5p - 6

For example, if Riley has 5 pencils, the number of pencils that Brendan would have would be:

= 5p - 6.

= 5(5) - 6

= 25 - 6

= 19 pencils

- 2y + 3 = - 4y<br> The solution set is what???
lianna [129]

Answer:

Y=-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2y+3=-4y

Move constant to the right  by adding its opposite to both sides

-2y+3-3=-4y-3

Eliminate the opposites

-2y=-4y-3

collect the like terms

-2y+4y

collect the like terms

(-2+4)y

Calculate the sum

2y=-3

divide both sides of the equation by 2

2y÷2=-3÷2

Any expression divided by itself equal 1

y=-3÷2

y=-3/2
