First substitute .5x in for y to get a solvable equation. You should get 6x+8(.5x)=30. Then multiply 8 times .5 to get 6x+4x=30. Then combine like terms (6x+4x) to get 10x=30 and divide both sides by 10 to get x=3. Then plug this x value (3) into the other equation (y=.5x) to find the value of y. Y=.5(3) so y=1.5. Therefore the answer is B.
For proportions just cross multiply.
8(y+2)=44
8y+16=44
8y=28
y=28/8
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
6a = (a*-3) + 45
then:
6a = -3a + 45
6a + 3a = 45
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5
Check:
6*5 = (5*-3) + 45
30 = -15 + 45
