Question

if y> a, then 13-20 * 13y = 168 *13 -22. what is the value of a and y?

Answer 1

13-20*13y=168*13-22
13-260y=2184-22
13-260y=2162
-260y=2162-13
-260y=2149
-y=2149/260
-y=8.26
y=-8.26

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of a is less than -8.265 and the value of y is -8.265.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$13-20\times 13y=168\times 13-22$

Using BODMAS, we get

$13-260y=2184-22$

$13-260y=2162$

$13-2162=260y$

$-2149=260y$

Divide both sides by 260.

$y=-8.26538461538$

$y\approx -8.265$

The value of y is -8.265.

It is given that y>a.

$-8.265>a$

Therefore value of a is less than -8.265.
