can someone please help me. my grade is very low in this class although i have no idea how to do this PLEASE HELP!!

download symbolab or download photo math it gets I covered on most of that your grade should go up

How to solve equations

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use Pemdas the order of operations to solve these types of equations.

Parenthesis,Exponents,multiplication,Division,Addition,subtraction.

Multiplication and division fit in a group left to right.

Addition and subtraction come last but depends on which comes first left to right.

Here you first have to use the distributive property.

3(y+5)=39 multiply 3 times y that gives you 3y. Then multiply 3 times 5 that gives you 15 . So, now you have simplified the left side of the equal sign so you have 3y+15=39 now subtract 15 from both sides and you get 3y=24 then you divide both sides by 3 to get y=8. What I just went over you do again and again to solve all these types of equations. Your trying to solve for the variable so you try to get y or m or n or any variable by itself.

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571

step-by-step explanation:

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
