Answer:

  y = -3x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Any "solve for" problem involves inverse operations. You want to "undo" what has been done to the variable of interest. Generally, we're undoing multiplication or addition.

__

It can help to simplify the equation first:

  x -(y +2) = 2(2x +1)

 x -y -2 = 4x +2 . . . . eliminate parentheses using the distributive property

To get y by itself, we can undo the addition of (x -2) by subtracting that from both sides.

  -y = (4x +2) -(x -2)

  -y = 3x +4

To "undo" the multiplication of y by -1, we can multiply by the reciprocal of that, which is -1.

  (-y)(-1) = (-1)(3x +4)

  y = -3x -4

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Here, we simplified the equation first. That's not always necessary or desirable. <em>The first step is to look at what you have and make a plan</em>. Here, y is in parentheses, so part of the plan will be to eliminate those parentheses.

Answer:

y = -3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y - 2 = 4x + 2

x - y - 2 + y = 4x + 2 + y

x - 2 = 4x + 2 + y

x - 2 - 4x - 2 = 4x + 2 + y - 4x - 2

-3x - 4 = y

so y = -3x - 4

Use the given minimum and maximum data​ entries, and the number of​ classes, to find the class​ width, the lower class​ limits,
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that minimum is 8 and maximum equals 82

Range = 84-8 = 76

No of classes =6

Class width = 76/6 ~13

But not given whether variable is discrete or continuous.

If discrete, we have classes as

8-20, 21-33, 34-46, 47-59, 60-72, 73-85

If continuous, we have classes as

8 to <21

21 to <34

and ... ending 73-<86

My friend needed help with this and I found the height through the theorem but can't figure out how to get the base of the overa
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

You found CD from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...

... CD = √(5² -2²) = √21

Since triangle ADC ~ triangle ACB, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same:

... AC/AD = AB/AC

... AB = AC²/AD

... AB = 5²/2 = 12.5 . . . . . . . the base of the overall triangle

_____

Then the area (A) is ...

... A = (1/2)bh

... A = (1/2)(12.5)(√21) ≈ 28.64 square units

_____

As you see here, the altitude of a right triangle divides it into three similar triangles. From smallest to largest, they are ...

... ADC ~ CDB ~ ACB

You can figure this using AAA similarity, since the smallest and largest triangles listed above share an acute angle vertex (∠A). That, together with the right angle, means all angles are congruent. After that, then you know ∠ACD ≅ ∠CBD, so you can show the middle sized triangle is similar to the other two.

If twelve pounds of nails cost $3.84 what is the unit cost A) 32c B) 28c C) 23c D) 18c
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Option A) 32c

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the unit cost, divide the total cost of twelve pounds by twelve pounds

so

\frac{\$3.84}{12}=\$0.32

Remember that

1$=100 cents

Convert dollars to cents

\$0.32=0.32*100=32c

therefore

The cost of one pound of nails cost 32 cents
