Solve for y
3 (3y - 5) = 34
Simplify as much as possible

:)) thxx

y=49/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute 3 with 3y and -5

3 times 3y is 9y

3 times -5 is -15

So the equation now looks like this:

9y-15=34

Add 15 on both sides:

9y=49

Divide 9 on both sides

So y=49/9

Since there is no common value to divide by y is 49/9

If you want the decimal version it is 5.44=> (=> meaning continuing forever)

Hope this helps!

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
