Evaluate the expression: 5x – y when
x = -4 and y= -2

marked as brainliest :)

It's a good idea to get into the habit of

using parenthses when substituting

numbers in for variables.

Since x = -4 and y = -2, 5x - y is 5(-4) - (-2).

Now, 5(-4) is -20 and minus a negative 2

can be thought of as plus a positive 2.

So we have (-20) + (+2) which equals -18.

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1

(3x-8) or (3x+8)
