Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Arrange 6x + y= -5, -6x + 12y=96 vertically:
6x + y= -5
-6x + 12y=96 Now combine like terms:
--------------------
13y = 91
Solving for y by dividing both sides by 13: y = 7
Find x by substituting 7 for y in the second equation: -6x + 12(7) = 96
Then -6x = -84 + 96, or:
-6x = 12, and so x = -2
Answer:
-12
Step-by-step explanation:
When you multiply a positive by a negative, the answer is always a negative. If you multiply two negatives, the answer is always positive. If you multiply 2 positives, the answer will always be positive.
Answer:
s = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
8(s+3) = 72
Expand the brackets out:
(8 x s) + (8 x 3) = 72
8s + 24 = 72
Now you get rid of 24 on the left, by taking away 24. But you also have to do the same on the right side so that both sides are equal:
8s + 24 = 72
left(-24) = right (-24)
So that leaves you with:
8s = 48
Now divide both sides by 8 to make them equal and to get s on its own:
8s = 72
left(/8) = right (/8)
Therfore:
s = 6
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of direct variation is y=kx.
K is the constant of proportionality, which is in this case is -3.
y=-3x
