Explanation:
[to solve for y, first use the properties of equality to simplify the equation]
5y + 3 = 8y − 5 + 2y
5y + 3 = (8y + 2y) – 5
[regroup the like terms of y together: commutative property of equality ; adding in a different order will still give you the same result]
5y + 3 = 10y – 5
[combine like terms]
5y + 3 = 10y – 5
[subtract 3 from both sides in order to eliminate the constant term on the left side: subtraction property of equality]
5y = 10y – 8
–10y –10y
[subtract 10 from both sides in order to eliminate the variable term: subtraction property of equality]
-5y = -8
÷(-5) ÷(-5)
[divide both sides by -5 to cancel out the coefficient of y: division property of equality]
y = 8/5
We have been given that Susan has a 12-inch board for constructing a wooden chair.The directions say to use a board that is 29 centimeters long. We are asked to determine if Susan's board is long enough to cut or not.
We know that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm.
Let us convert 12 inches into cm by multiplying 12 by 2.54.
Since 12 inches is equal to 30.48 centimeters and 30.48 is greater than 29, therefore, Susan's board in long enough to cut.
