<h3>
Answer: x-2y = -8</h3>
===========================================
Explanation:
Multiply both sides by 2 to clear out the fraction
y = (1/2)x+4
2y = 2[ (1/2)x + 4 ]
2y = 2*(1/2)x + 2*4
2y = x + 8
Then move the x term over to the left side
2y = x+8
2y-x = 8
-x+2y = 8
Optionally we can multiply both sides by -1
-x+2y = 8
-1*(-x+2y) = -1*8
x-2y = -8
This is in standard form Ax+By = C with A = 1, B = -2, C = -8
The reason why I multiplied both sides by -1 was to make A > 0 which is what some textbooks use as convention. Of course -x+2y = 8 is equally valid too.
Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Set them equal to each other since they're both equal to y
3x-5=.5x +5
add 5 to both sides
3x=.5x+10
subtract .5x from both sides
2.5x=10
divide both sides by 2.5
x= 4
X + 12 = 13
x = 13 - 12
x = 1
The only solution is x = 1
letter B
When y is 0 , what is x? that’s the starting point, i think the answer is 5.5
