What is 3-2y+(-8y)+8.4 as a simplified expression

-10y + 11.4

I hope this helps you out

-10y+11.4

Step-by-step explanation:

you combine -2y with -8y to get negative -10y. Then you combine 3 and 8.4 to get 11. Variables usually come first in equations, I don't think it matters, but you might want to put them first anyway.

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

so there are two triangles in that shape and they are similar to each other because their angles are equal and the ratio of their sides it 1:2

so the ratio of the side 5x & 40 is 1:2

5x/40=1/2

10x=40

x=4
