Solve the equation for y.
3(2y + 4) = 8y
To begin, simplify the right side of the equation by distributing the 3.
3(2y + 4) = 8y
6y + 12 = 8y
Then, solve the equation by isolating the variable and dividing both sides by the coefficient.
12 = 2y
y = 6
He was a pope who gave a speech that told the Christians to fight the Muslims.

As energy moves through a forest ecosystem, it flows from
(1) heterotrophs to autotrophs
(2) animals to plants
(3) herbivores to carnivores
(4) carnivores to autotrophs
(3) herbivores to carnivores
In a forest ecosystem, energy flows from herbivores to carnivores. Herbivores are animals that feed on plants and obtain energy by consuming plant material. Carnivores, on the other hand, obtain energy by consuming herbivores or other carnivores. This flow of energy is part of the food chain, where energy is transferred from one organism to another through consumption. The other options are incorrect because energy does not flow from heterotrophs to autotrophs, from animals to plants, or from carnivores to autotrophs.

Solve the equation for x.
|x + 5| = 3
-8 and -2
This equation involves an absolute value function. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on a number line. Since distances are never negative, the absolute value of a number is always positive (or equal to zero). In order to make the equation true, the expression inside the absolute value, x + 5, can equal either -3 or 3 since the absolute value of both values is 3. Write two equations and solve each.
