Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find y, follow these steps:

4y - 2 (1 - y) = -44

First, distribute the -2 into the parenthesis:

4y - 2 + 2y = -44

The reason the 2y is positive is due to the fact that negative and negative cancel each other out and form a positive.

Now, combine like terms:

6y - 2 = -44

To get y, you need to isolate it from the constants. In order to do so, do the inverse relationship for the constant -2. To do this, add 2 to -44:

6y = -42

Now, divide six on both sides. You divide because six is currently being multiplied with y. Keep in mind that the 42 is still negative!

y = -7

Hope this helps!

Draw an angle in standard position whose terminal side contains the point

kvasek [131]

Answer:

The distance of the point from the origin = 9.29 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given point:

(7,-6)

The angle lies such that the terminal side of the angle contains the given point.

To draw the angle and find the distance from the origin to the given point.

Solution:

The terminal side of the angle is where the angle ends with the initial side being the positive side of the x-axis.

So, we can plot the point (7,-6) by moving 7 units on the x-axis horizontally and -6 units on the y-axis vertically.

We can find the distance of the point from the origin by find the hypotenuse of the triangle formed.

Applying Pythagorean theorem.

$Hypotenuse^2=Shorter\ Leg^2+Shortest\ Leg^2$

$Hypotenuse^2 = (7)^2+(-6)^2$

$Hypotenuse^2=49+36\\Hypotenuse^2=85$

Taking square root both sides :

$\sqrt{Hypotenuse^2}=\sqrt{85}$

$Hypotenuse = 9.29\ units$

Thus, the distance of the point from the origin = 9.29 units.

The figure is shown below.

Simplify (2n + 5) - (3n + 7) + (4n - 9). -3n - 11 3n - 11 -3n + 11 3n + 11

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

(B) 3n - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

(2n + 5) - (3n + 7) + (4n - 9) = 2n + 5 - 3n - 7 +4n - 9 = 3n - 11

The ordered pairs (1,6), (,25), (3,36), (4,49) and (5, 64) represent a function. what is a rule that represents this function?

vodka [1.7K]

I believe this is a function. I am not sure because one of the pairs only has a y value.
But the rule is there can only be one x value for one y value so for example, you can have (3.7) and (3,9) and the same for the y values.
