Algebra One Help: Question Below! :)

Answer 1

A 10−gallon container of water costs (y + 2) dollars while a 5−gallon container of water costs (y − 2) dollars. If the price per gallon of water is the same for both containers, the equation below can be used to solve for y.

y+2/10 = y-2/5

Answer 2

are you sure that is the equation

Answer 3

\[\frac{ y + 2 }{ 10 } = \frac{ y - 2 }{ 5 }\]

Answer 4

y=6

Answer 5

you multipy both sides to find a common denominator

Answer 6

oops I forgot the question.

Answer 7

What is the value, in dollars, of y?

Answer 8

Correct equations. y = $6. Price per gallon is $0.8.

Answer 9

yea

Answer 10

the value of y is 6?

Answer 11

yes here let me show you

Answer 12

y+2/10=y-2/5
5(y+2/10)=5(y-2/5)

Answer 13

you get 5y+10/50=10y-20/50

Answer 14

multiply each side by 50 to cancel them out

Answer 15

your left with 5y+10=10y-20

Answer 16

-5y=-30
y=6

Answer 17

did you get it?

Answer 18

yeah.
