2x - (3/4) = (15/4)
We need to get x by itself. First add 3/4 to both sides.
2x = 18/4
Now divide both sides by 2
x = 18/8 or 9/4
Answer:
x = -2
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
x−2y=6
<em>Multiply both sides by 2</em>
x-4y=12
<em>Subtract x from both sides</em>
-4y=12-x
2x−4y=10
<em>Subtract 2x from both sides</em>
-4y=10-2x
Put the 2 equations together:
12-x=10-2x
<em>Add x to both sides</em>
12=10-x
<em>Subtract 10 from both sides</em>
2= -x
<em>Multiply both sides by -1</em>
x= -2
x−2y=6
<em>Multiply both sides by 2</em>
2x-2y=12
<em>Add 2y to both sides</em>
2x=12+2y
2x−4y=10
<em>Add 4y to both sides</em>
2x=10+4y
x−2y=6
<em>Multiply both sides by 2</em>
2x-2y=12
<em>Add 2y to both sides</em>
2x=12+2y
2x−4y=10
<em>Add 4y to both sides</em>
2x=10+4y
Put the 2 equations together:
12+2y=10+4y
<em>Subtract 10 from both sides</em>
2+2y=4y
<em>Subtract 2y from both sides</em>
2=2y
y=1
-17/6 is the unequal fraction answer. To put it as a mixed number, you simply divide it like it's set up and put the remaining 'leftovers' as the fraction. 12 divided by six equals two, leaving us with five left over, so the answer is 12 5/6
