First let me tell you i'm sorry to ask for so much help so soon, but i have my math final on monday forgot after 15 weeks how to answer these 5-6 problems. Can somebody be a pal and help me find the soulutions to these problems before monday? 3 of them are solving the equation, 1 is seeing if a given number is a solution and the last two are word problems Please Help me!!!!
1.) solve these 3 equations
-3y (3y-3) - 2y = 8
2.) 6-5s /3 = s
3.) 5 (1 - x) / 6 = -x i got -5.166666666 is that right
4.) is see if the given number is a soulution?
2, 2 / a+1 + 4 = 10 / a+1
5.) thise are word problems the first one is a drt problem and the second one is a $$ problem Please Help Me!!!

1. -3y(3y-3) - 2y = 8
-9y^2 + 9y -2y = 8
9y^2 - 7y +8 = 0 representing ax^2 + bx + c = 0,
using the quadratic equation (-b +- (b^2 - 4ac)^1/2 )/2a
y = (7+-(49-4(9)(8))^1/2 )/18
y = (7+-(-239)^1/2 )/18
y = (7+-i(239)^1/2 )/18
y = 0.38888 +- 0.8589i
are you sure you have the equation correct?
2. 6-5S/3 = S
6 = S +5S/3
6 = (8/3)S
S = 9/4
3. 5(1-X)/6 = -X
(5-5D)/6 = -X
5-5X = -6X
X = -5
4. 2 is the answer, then
2/a + 1 + 4 = 10/a + 1
2/2 + 1 + 4 = 10/2 + 1
1 + 1 + 4 = 5 + 1
6 = 6
5. Let X = Speed of one train, X+10 = Speed of 2nd train.
Let t = time
Then 200 miles = Xt + (X+10)t
If they traveled for t=2 hours
200 = 2X + 2(X+10)
200 = 4X + 20
4X = 180
X = 45 mph for 1st Train
and X+10 = 55 mph for 2nd Train
6. Let D = # dimes, Q = # Quarters
D = 2Q + 2
.10D + .25Q = 4.25
Subsitute D = 2Q + 2 into 2nd equation yields
.2Q + .2 + .25Q = 4.25
.45Q = 4.05
Q = 9 quarters
Then D = 2x9 + 2 = 20 Dimes
You'll ace the test now.

-3y(3y-3)-2y=8=
-9y+3y-2y=8
-6y-2y=8
-8y=8
y=-1
6-5s/3=s
6=s+5s/3
18=s+5s
18=6s
s=3
5(1-x)/6=-x
5-5x/6=-x
5-5x=-6x
5=-1x
-5=x
I can't really tell the next part because i dunno if the a+1+4 4 is the part of the fraction.
(x-1)2+2x=200
2x-2+2x=200
198=4x
45 and 55 mph
9 quaters and 20 dimes
