What is the variable in the following problems?
1. 6(x-2) = -18

2. -8(y + 9) = -40

Divide both sides by the numeric factor on the left side, then solve.

x= -1 and y= -4

Hope this helps!

Ithink you're supposed to multiply 12.50 which is how much he makes per hour and then multiply it by each number then add whats left togrther and there's your answer

1. isolate the variable, in this case, d. subtract 35.5 on both sides of the equation.2. 52 subtracted by 35.5 is 16.53. therefore your answer would be d= 16.5this is the basics of pre algebra, isolating variable through adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing, if you have any other questions to ask just comment!
