To solve this equation we must first plug in 5 for x.

<span> (5 - 4x)
</span>↓

(5 - 4 · 5)
The next step would be to multiply 4 by 5 to get rid of the parenthesis within our main parenthesis.

(5 - 4 · 5)

(5 - 20)
The next step would be to subtract both of the numbers within the parenthesis.

(-15)
Now we must multiply.
-

· 15 = -

-

Now we simplify our answer to get our final answer.
-5
Answer:
No they are not equivilant. −36x−27 = 972 & 9(−4x−3) = 108.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x= -6, y= 10
Step-by-step explanation:
x= y + 4
2x = 3y - 2
If we replace "x" with "y+4" in the second equation we get:
2(y+4) = 3y - 2
2y + 8 = 3y - 2
2y - 3y = -2-8
-y = -10
y = 10
Now we can go back to the first equation and solve for x:
x = y + 4
x = 10 + 4 = 14
