What is y - 1 = -5/2(x + 2) in pre-algebra standard form

y=-5/2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

y-l=-5/2(x+2)

Distribute the -5/2 to (x+2)

y-1=-5/2x-5

Add on on both sides of the equal sign

y=-5/2x-4

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
