79-y=2y+22
Add y on both sides
79=3y+22
Subtract 22 from both sides
57=3y
Divide by 3 on both sides
19=y
Answer:
it will take 3 5/8 of gas to fill the tank
Step-by-step explanation:
14 1/2 - 10 7/8 can be re-written using improper fractions
29/2 - 87/8 We need a common denominator, which is 8
116/8 - 87/8 = 29/8 = 3 5/8 gal
Answer: 13/7 or as a decimal 1.857142857
How did i get the answer:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
so 1/2 of 10 is 5, 1/2 of 16 is 8
-3/5 of 15 is -9 and -3/5 of -35 is POSITIVE 21
all together should look like 5x+8+−13=−9x+21
(now we have to combine like terms)
8+ -13= -5
5x -5 = -9x+21
Step 2: Add 9x to both sides
5x + 9x= 14x
14x -5 = 21
Step 3: Add 5 to both sides.
21+5= 26
14x=26
Step 4: Divide both sides by 14.
26/14= 1.85714286 or 13/7
