Question

Can someone please solve this problem showing me step by step how you get the answer please?

-y-1/4x=-3

x being-2

Answer 1

is that -1/4x or is it (-y-1)/4x?

Answer 2

\[\frac{-y-1}{4x}=-3?\]

Answer 3

-1/4x

Answer 4

\[-y -\frac{1}{4(-2)}=-3\]

Answer 5

first step is to plug in -2 for x....

Answer 6

we get:

-y + (1/8) = -3 ; -(1/8) from each side to get

-y = -3' 1/8 ; /-1 to both sides to get:

y = 3' 1/8 = 25/8

Answer 7

if you -1/8 from both sides how are you getting -3 1/8 ?

Answer 8

-3 -(1/8) = -3' 1/8

Answer 9

if you owe someone 3 dollars and you owe the 1/8 more of a dollar the total you owe them is: 3' 1/8 dollars

Answer 10

OK, got that part..where are you getting the dividing -1 to both sides
would it be -y =-1 is that how?

Answer 11

-y = -1y

-1y/-1 = y :)
