C. -2
D. -2/5
2. Solve the equation
3y+20=3+2y
A. -1/17
B. 7 2/3
C. 23
D. -17 <----My answer
Can someone please check my work.
Never mind on question 1 ms.sue says it's -2
2 is correct.
Nvm the correct answer to #1 was actually B but thanks anyways ms.sue
1.
6 y = -8
y = -4/3
I suspect a typo
Sure, I can help you check your work!
1. Let's solve the equation -5y - 9 = y - 1.
First, let's simplify the equation by combining like terms.
-5y - 9 = y - 1
Moving all the y terms to the left side and the constant terms to the right side:
-5y - y = 1 - 9
Simplifying further gives:
-6y = -8
Next, we can solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by -6:
y = -8 / -6
Simplifying the right side gives:
y = 4/3
So, the correct answer is not among the options provided. The equation -5y - 9 = y - 1 does not have a solution from the given choices.
2. Let's solve the equation 3y + 20 = 3 + 2y.
First, let's simplify the equation by combining like terms.
3y + 20 = 3 + 2y
Moving all the y terms to the left side and the constant terms to the right side:
3y - 2y = 3 - 20
Simplifying further gives:
y = -17
So, your answer of -17 is correct! Good job! The correct answer for the equation 3y + 20 = 3 + 2y is indeed -17.
I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
