Beforehand let me apologize for my sloppy handwriting. I'm a lefty, so please deal with me. . Anyway, the equation you listed didn't really have a x, because a linear equation is y= mx+b, and anything with x is the slope. But I did see y and a number on one side, so I'm like maybe I can get these two alone. So here's what I did:
2y + 4=0
-4 -4 I subtracted 4 on both sides. Why because you would want "y" alone.
Next,
2y= -4
Now to get "y" alone you want to divide on both sides.
2y= -4/ 2
y= -2
Now you're probably thinking "how do you graph it? There's no "x" in the equation." Well, you just graph it. Since the answer is y= -2, you go to the y axis, look for -2, and place a line to indicate that is the equation. And to make it clear, remember y is the y-intercept.
I really do hope this helps you, if not message me. I'll be happy to help, and again I'm sorry for my handwriting!
The person has 1 5/6 cake left because 3 2/4 - 1 2/3 = 1 5/6! Hope this helps ^0^
Explanation
Rewriting Expression in different parts.
= 3 + 2/4 + 1 + 2/3.
Solving The Whole Number Parts.
3 + 1 = 4
Solving The Fraction Parts.
2/4 + 2/3 = ?
Find the LCD of 2/3 and 2/4 and Rewrite to solve with equivalent Fractions.
LCD = 12
6/12 + 8/12 = 14/12
Simplify the Fraction Part.
14/12 = 7/6
Simplify The Fraction Part Again.
7/6 = 1 1/6
Combining The Whole Numbers With The Fractions.
4 + 1 + 1/6 = 5 1/6
Hope this helps ^0^! ;D
Answer:
Hulian's age is 7.
Thomas's age is 22.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Hulian = h
Let Thomas = t
Set the system of equation:
h = t - 15
h + t = 29
Plug in t - 15 for h in the second equation:
(t - 15) + t = 29
Simplify. Combine like terms:
2t - 15 = 29
Isolate the variable, t. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, add 15 to both sides:
2t - 15 (+15) = 29 (+15)
2t = 44
Divide 2 from both sides:
(2t)/2 = (44)2
t = 44/2
t = 22
Plug in 22 for t in one of the equations:
h = t - 15
h = 22 - 15
h = 7
Hulian's age is 7.
Thomas's age is 22.
