I know the answer but I don't know how to get to the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Post the question, I'm sure someone will try to help. I will try to help if I can. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The question is the attachment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's 2y to the power of 2-3=5y+1 the answer is y=-4 to the power of 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It prevail and it sucks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pre-cal

OpenStudy (babalooo):

can you write it out using the equation function. because your power seems multiplicaation to me in the attachment. it's a bit confusing.

OpenStudy (babalooo):

like can you write out the problem. I don't see the corelation of your attachment and your post.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2y \sqrt{2-3}=5y+1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=-4\sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how to get to it tho

@babalooo

OpenStudy (babalooo):

sry, i was having dinner. is the equation correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes the equation is correct it came right out of the book sorry I wasn't near a computer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@babalooo

OpenStudy (babalooo):

question, is that exponent or multiplication. reading from your previous post, you said it's power...

OpenStudy (babalooo):

are you sure it's sqrt(2-3) because wouldn't that give you an imaginary number

OpenStudy (babalooo):

because if it's the equation you showed me 2y(sqrt(-1)=5y+1 and that would be 2y(i)=5y+1. which is no where near your solution. can you perhaps post a picture of the equation or something. is it to the power of (2-3) or is it squareroot?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's square root sorry I always do that and I did post a picture on my first post of the equation and a picture of the answer after it too @babalooo

OpenStudy (babalooo):

hmmm.. i can't seem to get your solution or anywhere close to it
