Simplifying
8y + -1 = 9y

Reorder the terms:
-1 + 8y = 9y

Solving
-1 + 8y = 9y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9y' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 8y + -9y = 9y + -9y

Combine like terms: 8y + -9y = -1y
-1 + -1y = 9y + -9y

Combine like terms: 9y + -9y = 0
-1 + -1y = 0

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-1 + 1 + -1y = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
0 + -1y = 0 + 1
-1y = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1
-1y = 1

Divide each side by '-1'.
y = -1

Simplifying
y = -1

Answer: y = -1

Step-by-step:

-8y + 1 = -9y

Subtract 1 from both sides
-8y = -9y-1

Add 9y to both sides to isolate y
y = -1

Proving That All Circles Are Similar give: cicrcle x with radius r and circile y with radius s prove: circle x is similar to cir
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Two shapes are similar when they have the same shape while their sizes may be the same or different

Therefore, two similar shapes are shapes that have a relationship such that the dimensions of one of the shapes can be obtained from the dimensions of the other shape by multiplying by a scale factor

All circles have the same shape and are defined by their center and radius

Given circle with center at 'x' and radius 'r' and circle with center 'y' and radius 's', then there exist a scale factor a = s/r such that we have;

r × a = s

Where a = s/r, we get;

r × s/r = s

We can therefore, obtain a circle with with the same size as the circle with center 'y' and radius 's' by multiplying the radius of the circle with center at 'x' and radius 'r' by a

Therefore the circle with center at 'x' and radius 'r' is similar to the circle with center 'y' and radius 's'

The top speed of a wildebeest is 64 km/h and the top speed of a zebra is 64.4 km/h. How much faster is a zebra in feet per secon
7nadin3 [17]
The first thing we must do is subtract both speeds.
 We have then:
 64.4 km / h - 64.0 km / h = 0.40 km / h
 We now change units taking into account the following conversions:
 1h = 3600s
 1km = 3280.84 feets
 We have then:
 0.40 * (3280.84 / 3600) = 0.364537778 feet / s
 Answer: 
 a zebra is faster 0.364537778 in feet per second
