2 x - 5 y = 18  / * 4
3 x + 4 y = 4   / * 5  ( we will use the addition method )
--------------------------
 8 x - 20 y = 72
+
15 x + 20 y = 20
----------------------- 
23 x = 92
x = 92 : 23
x = 4
8 - 5 y = 18
- 5 y = 18 - 8
- 5 y = 10
y = 10  : ( - 5 ) 
y = - 2
Answer:
( x, y ) = ( 4, - 2 )

4(x-6)&lt;-2x+6 what is the solution to the inequality <br> _
Cloud [144]
Simplify both sides if needed. The left-hand side needs simplification.

4(x - 6) \leq -2x + 6
4x - 24 \leq  -2x + 6

All is left to do is add and subtract to get the x variable all alone.

4x - 24  \leq -2x + 6
6x - 24  \leq  6    <-- Add 2x to both sides
6x         \leq  30  <-- Add 24 to both sides 
x           \leq 5    <-- Divide both sides by 6

In order to be in the solution set, x has to be less than or equal to 5.
