Question

Evaluate the expression for y=3.8, y=5, and y=5.6.
y=4

Answer 1

Answer:(a) x - 0.7 = 1.5

Explanation:

Determine whether each of the following is a solution of x − 0.7 = 1.5: (a) x = 1 (b) x = −0.8 (c) x = 2. Step 1. Substitute the number for the variable in the equation.

Step 2. Simplify the expressions on both sides of the equation.

Step 3. Determine whether the resulting equation is true.

If so, the number is a solution.

If not, the number is not a solution.
