Question:
What is the equation for the following statement,"One-half of a number decreased by 3 is 21.
Answer:
<em>half the number = x/2 </em>
<em>decreased by 3 </em>
<em>(x/2) -3 =21</em>
<em>=48</em>
Answer:
x=-5, y=-2. (-5, -2).
Step-by-step explanation:
x-3y=1
-x+6y=-7
----------------
3y=-6
y=-6/3
y=-2
x-3(-2)=1
x+6=1
x=1-6
x=-5
Answer:
-⅗ = x
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is what you get when you distribute the -2 on the left side of the equivalence symbol and combine like-terms on the right side of the equivalence symbol:
-2x - 4 = 3x - 1
Here is the solution:
-2x - 4 = 3x - 1
-3x -3x
----------------
-5x - 4 = -1
4 +4
----------------
-5x = 3
----- -----
-5 -5
x = -⅗
