Answer:
80/3 or 26 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 + y = 9 (subtract y from both sides)
-2 = 9 - y (subtract 9 from both sides)
-2 - 9 = y (multiply both sides by -1)
2 + 9 = y (simplify)
11 = y (substitute)
3x - 7 (11) = 3 (multiply)
3x - 77 = 3 (subtract 3 from both sides)
3x - 80 = 0 (subtract 3x from both sides)
-80 = -3x (multiply both sides by -1)
80 = 3x (divide both sides by 3)
80/3 = x (simplify if needed)
26 2/3 = x
Answer: The answer is 1.5
Step-by-step explanation: First you want to add 5x + x which equals 6x. Then you want to add -5+-4 which = -9. Then you add 9 to the -9 to get rid of it. But you have to do it on both sides so you add 9+0 which =9. Finally you divide 9 by 6 which equals 1.5
