@Ashleyisakitty

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

What can you do to get y by itself?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.8/2=Y 1.4=Y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divide By 2

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Correct. So what's 2.8 divided by 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.4

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2y' to each side of the equation. 2.8 + -2y = 2y + -2y Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0 2.8 + -2y = 0 Add '-2.8' to each side of the equation. 2.8 + -2.8 + -2y = 0 + -2.8 Combine like terms: 2.8 + -2.8 = 0.0 0.0 + -2y = 0 + -2.8 -2y = 0 + -2.8 Combine like terms: 0 + -2.8 = -2.8 -2y = -2.8 Divide each side by '-2'. y = 1.4 Simplifying y = 1.4

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Correct. So y = 1.4. How to check your work? y = 1.4 2y = 2.8 To get another y, you times both side by 2. Therefore, your answer is correct! I hope this help!

@GoldPhenoix Can I Ask Another Question

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay Thank You

So -9= r/4 so i was thing would r be -36

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

\[\large \large -9= \frac{ r }{ 4 }\] To solve for r, you want to multiply. (Since it's the opposite of division) So -9 * 4 = -36. Therefore, your equation should look like: \[\large \large r = -9\times4\] So you're correct. :)

Thank You Im So Sorry I Toook So Long @GoldPhenoix My Mama needed Me But Thanks
