Question

Can someone give me the answer and help explain this

Answer 1

y = -1
Plugging x = 30 into the equation, it becomes y = 14 - .5(30)
Simplify to get y = 14 - 15
14 - 15 = -1

Answer 2

y=-1

Explanation:

do one half of 30 which is 15 (basically 0.5 multiplied by 30 but easier)

you plug in the 15

do 14-15

since there are not enough positive numbers to solve it becomes -1
