Answer:

a. Find y if w = -4 --- y = 14

b. Find y if w = 10 --- y = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

This is all about substitution!! For question a, we need to substitute "w" with "-4" ...

2 (-4) + y = 6

We know that a positive time a negative equals a negative...so 2 · -4 is -8.

-8 + y = 6

Now let's add 8 on both sides to isolate the variable...which equals to

y = 14

Onto question b...We substitute w with 10.

2 (10) + y = 6

= 20 + y = 6

Subtract 20 from both sides to isolate "y"

y = -14

Hope this helpsss :D

A. Y would be 14 since 2w would equal -8, and -8+14=6.
B. Y would be -14 because 2w would equal 20 and 20+(-14)=6

Answer:

more than half are being used

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps easiest to understand is the most straightforward: figure the total number of seats and the number of seats being used. Check to see if that is more than half.

The 1 first-class carriage has usage of ...

(3/8)(64 seats) = 24 seats.

The 6 standard carriages have usage of ...

(7/13)(6 · 78 seats) = 252 seats.

The total number of seats used is ...

24 + 252 = 276 . . . . seats used

The total number of seats on the train is ...

1·64 +6·78 = 532 . . . . seats on the train

Half of the seats on the train will be ...

532/2 = 266 seats . . . . half the seats

The 276 used seats are more than half of the total number. More than half the seats are being used.

_____

Alternate solution

Another way to look at this is to compare utilization to 1/2 in each carriage class.

In first class 1/2 -3/8 = 1/8 of 64 seats = 8 seats fewer than 1/2 the seats are being used.

In standard class, 7/13 -1/2 = 14/26 -13/26 = 1/26 of 78 seats = 3 seats more than 1/2 the seats are being used. There are 6 standard class carriages, so 6·3 = 18 more than half the seats in the standard-class carriages are being used.

This number is 10 more than the 8 under-utilized seats in first class, so more than half the train seats are being used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! I hope you are having a nice day.

We can solve this equation in a single step, we just need a bit of theory and a graph.

We can first see that its in $y=mx+b$ form. Which is also known as Slope-Intercept form.
