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

Hi, umm pls help 1/6(x-5)=1/2(x+6), solve for x And can you please explain

Mumz [18]

Answer:

By solving the equation $\frac{1}{6}(x-5)=\frac{1}{2}(x+6)$ we found that $x=\frac{23}{2} \text { or }=11 \frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

Given equation,

$\frac{1}{6}(x-5)=\frac{1}{2}(x+6)$ to find x

Step: 1 Cross multiply the denominators 2(x-5)=6(x+6)

Step: 2 Open brackets and simplify the term 2x-10=6x+36

Step: 3 Bring x terms on one side and simplify the equation the equation obtained is following,

2x-6x=36+10

-4x=46

$-x=\frac{46}{4}=\frac{23}{2}=11 \frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, we solved x value from the given equation $\frac{1}{6}(x-5)=\frac{1}{2}(x+6)$ as $x=\frac{23}{2} \text { or }=11 \frac{1}{2}$ .

the baker's at healthy Baker can make 190 Bagels in 2 hours how many bagels can they make in 15 hours what was the rate per hour

ziro4ka [17]

1425 Bagels can be made in 15 hours at a rate of 95 bagels per hour. In order to solve this equation half the amount of bagels made in 2 hours to find the amount they can make in 1 hour. Next multiply the amount of bagels per hour by 15.
