1 answer

Certainly! Let's solve each problem step by step.


Problem 2

Equation:
\(-4 + xy = -2y\)
Given: \(x = 0\)

Step 1: Substitute \(x = 0\) into the equation.
\(-4 + 0 \cdot y = -2y\)
This simplifies to:
\(-4 = -2y\)

Step 2: Solve for \(y\).
Dividing both sides by -2:
\[y = \frac{-4}{-2} = 2\]

Final Answer:
\(y = 2\)


Problem 3

Equation:
\(\frac{5}{6}y = x - \frac{25}{6}\)
Given: \(x = 10\)

Step 1: Substitute \(x = 10\) into the equation.
\(\frac{5}{6}y = 10 - \frac{25}{6}\)

Step 2: Simplify the right side.
Convert 10 into sixths:
\[10 = \frac{60}{6}\]
Now:
\[\frac{5}{6}y = \frac{60}{6} - \frac{25}{6} = \frac{35}{6}\]

Step 3: Solve for \(y\).
Multiply both sides by \(\frac{6}{5}\):
\[y = \frac{6}{5} \cdot \frac{35}{6} = \frac{35}{5} = 7\]

Final Answer:
\(y = 7\)


Problem 4

Equation:
\(16 = -5x - 9y\)
Given: \(x = -2\)

Step 1: Substitute \(x = -2\) into the equation.
\(16 = -5(-2) - 9y\)

Step 2: Simplify.
\(16 = 10 - 9y\)
Now, isolate \(y\):
\(-9y = 16 - 10\)
\(-9y = 6\)

Step 3: Solve for \(y\).
\[y = \frac{-6}{9} = -\frac{2}{3}\]

Final Answer:
\(y = -\frac{2}{3}\)


Problem 5

Equation:
\(\frac{1}{4}y = -1 - \frac{3}{8}x\)
Given: \(x = -8\)

Step 1: Substitute \(x = -8\) into the equation.
\(\frac{1}{4}y = -1 - \frac{3}{8}(-8)\)

Step 2: Simplify the right side.
\(-\frac{3}{8}(-8) = 3\):
Now:
\(\frac{1}{4}y = -1 + 3\)
\(\frac{1}{4}y = 2\)

Step 3: Solve for \(y\).
Multiplying both sides by 4:
\[y = 8\]

Final Answer:
\(y = 8\)


Problem 6

Equation:
\(2y = -3xy - 5\)
Given: \(x = 1\)

Step 1: Substitute \(x = 1\) into the equation.
\(2y = -3(1)y - 5\)
This simplifies to:
\(2y = -3y - 5\)

Step 2: Gather the \(y\) terms.
Adding \(3y\) to both sides:
\(2y + 3y = -5\)
\(5y = -5\)

Step 3: Solve for \(y\).
\[y = \frac{-5}{5} = -1\]

Final Answer:
\(y = -1\)


Problem 7

Equation:
\(-x = 8 - 4y\)

Step 1: Rearrange to isolate \(y\).
\[4y = 8 + x\]
\[y = \frac{1}{4}x + 2\]

Final Answer:
\(y = \frac{1}{4}x + 2\)


Problem 8

Equation:
\(-2x = 7y - 13\)
Given: \(x = 3\)

Step 1: Substitute \(x = 3\) into the equation.
\(-2(3) = 7y - 13\)
\(-6 = 7y - 13\)

Step 2: Solve for \(y\).
Adding 13 to both sides:
\(7y = 7\)
So,
\[y = 1\]

Final Answer:
\(y = 1\)


Problem 9

Equation:
\(5xy = -7y + 24\)
Given: \(x = -1\)

Step 1: Substitute \(x = -1\) into the equation.
\(5(-1)y = -7y + 24\)
Simplifying:
\(-5y = -7y + 24\)

Step 2: Gather the \(y\) terms.
Adding \(7y\) to both sides:
\(-5y + 7y = 24\)
\(2y = 24\)

Step 3: Solve for \(y\).
\[y = \frac{24}{2} = 12\]

Final Answer:
\(y = 12\)
