Multiply first example by 3 and subtract by second example, you will get the following:

3*(5x + 2y) = 3*22 => 3*5x + 3*2y = 66 => 15x + 6y = 66
now subtraction:
(15x + 6y) - (-2x + 6y) = 66 - 3
15x + 6y + 2x - 6y = 63
15x + 2x + 6y - 6y = 63
17x = 63
x = 63/17 ≈ 3.705..... and as it says to round to the nearest tenth our answer would be: x = 3.7

A translation moves point X to X' using the rule (x,y) → (x-2, y + 1). If X' is (3,-4), what was the

Dimas [21]

Answer:

X' is (5,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that this is just a translation, we can reverse the (polarity?) of each equation, such as changing -5 to +5 to find the original answer.

With that in mind, we can add 2 to X, and -1 from Y, which puts us at, 5 on the X axis, and -5 on the Y axis.
