Question

I'm a little confused.

(2y+14.6+3.8)-(34.8m+15.6+2y)

Answer 1

5.6

Explanation:

You most likely will end up putting it in slope form y=mx+b

(2y+14.6+3.8)-(34.8m+15.6+2y) collect like terms

(2y+18.4)-(34.8m + 15.6 + 2y) = 2.8 + 34.8m

2y-2y= 0

18.4 - 15.6= 2.8

34.8m -0 = 34.8m

2.8 + 34.8m ( I think we should further simplify)

so minus 2.8 on both sides

34.8m = -2.8(divide by 34.8 on both sides)

m = -7/87

Plug in

(2y+14.6+3.8)-(34.8(-7/87)+15.6+2y) collect like terms

(2y+18.4)-(-2.8 + 15.6 + 2y) collect like terms

(18.4)-(12.8)= 5.6

2y-2y = 0

34.8(-7/87)= -2.8

18.4 - 12.8 = 5.6
