Answer 1

can you draw this please

Answer 2

What do you mean?

Answer 3

You can start by dividing both sides by 3

Answer 4

Multiply −3 by each term inside the parentheses (8−y).

−3(8)−3(−y)=3y−24


Multiply −3 by the 8 inside the parentheses.

−3⋅8−3(−y)=3y−24


Multiply −3 by 8 to get −24.

−24−3(−y)=3y−24


Multiply −3 by the −y inside the parentheses.

−24−3⋅−y=3y−24


Multiply −3 by −y to get 3y.

−24+3y=3y−24


Reorder the polynomial −24+3y alphabetically from left to right, starting with the highest order term.

3y−24=3y−24

3y−24=3y−24

Since 3y contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by subtracting 3y from both sides.

3y−24−3y=−24

Since 3y and −3y are like terms, add −3y to 3y to get 0.

0−24=−24

Remove the 0 from the polynomial; adding or subtracting 0 does not change the value of the expression.

−24=−24

Since −24=−24, am i close?? SO MUCH TYPING

Answer 5

@Isaiah.Feynman HELP

Answer 6

Divide both sides by -3.

Answer 7

oh was i close?
