Answer:

14y -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-3y - 2 - 3 + 17y (rearrange so that like terms are together)

= 17y - 3y -2 -3 (group like terms)

= (17y - 3y) + (-2 -3 ) simplify

= 14y + (-5)

= 14y -5

1. a triangle has the base of 5/3x and the height of x<br> how do i work this equation

sashaice [31]

Answer:

Area = 5/6 * x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are given the base and height of a certain triangle, you will most likely be asked to find the area

The area of any triangle can be found by

Area = base*height * (1/2)

In your case

Area = (5/3)*x*x* (1/2) = 5/6 * x^2

In your case, x should be a known parameter of your triangle, so if you have the value of the height, you should be able to find the area. Or conversely, if you have the area, you can find the length and height of your triangle.

Which points are reflections of each other across both the y-axis

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Reflect over the y-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

When you reflect a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate is transformed into its opposite (its sign is changed).

Notice that B is 5 horizontal units to the right of the y-axis, and B' is 5 horizontal units to the left of the y-axis.

The reflection of the point (x,y) across

the y-axis is the point (-x,y).
