5x + 2(8x + -9) = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)
Reorder the terms:
5x + 2(-9 + 8x) = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)
5x + (-9 * 2 + 8x * 2) = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)
5x + (-18 + 16x) = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)
Reorder the terms:
-18 + 5x + 16x = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)
Combine like terms: 5x + 16x = 21x
-18 + 21x = 3(x + 4) + -5(2x + 7)
Reorder the terms:
-18 + 21x = 3(4 + x) + -5(2x + 7)
-18 + 21x = (4 * 3 + x * 3) + -5(2x + 7)
-18 + 21x = (12 + 3x) + -5(2x + 7)
Reorder the terms:
-18 + 21x = 12 + 3x + -5(7 + 2x)
-18 + 21x = 12 + 3x + (7 * -5 + 2x * -5)
-18 + 21x = 12 + 3x + (-35 + -10x)
Reorder the terms:
-18 + 21x = 12 + -35 + 3x + -10x
Combine like terms: 12 + -35 = -23
-18 + 21x = -23 + 3x + -10x
Combine like terms: 3x + -10x = -7x
-18 + 21x = -23 + -7x
Solving
-18 + 21x = -23 + -7x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '7x' to each side of the equation.
-18 + 21x + 7x = -23 + -7x + 7x
Combine like terms: 21x + 7x = 28x
-18 + 28x = -23 + -7x + 7x
Combine like terms: -7x + 7x = 0
-18 + 28x = -23 + 0
-18 + 28x = -23
Add '18' to each side of the equation.
-18 + 18 + 28x = -23 + 18
Combine like terms: -18 + 18 = 0
0 + 28x = -23 + 18
28x = -23 + 18
Combine like terms: -23 + 18 = -5
28x = -5
Divide each side by '28'.

Hey did you get the answer to it please let me know girly
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Addition Method:
4x - 2y = 6
2x + y = 7
-2(2x + y) = -2(7)
4x - 2y = 6
-4x - 2y = -14
-4y = -8
y = 2
Substitution Method:
4x - 2y = 6
2x + y = 7
-2y = 6 - 4x
2y = 4x - 6
y = 2x - 3
2x + (2x - 3) = 7
4x - 3 = 7
4x = 10
x = 2.5
2(2.5) + y = 7
5 + y = 7
y = 2

Answer: m = -1
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem we're asked to find the slope of the line that contains the points (-2,5) and (6,-3).
Using our slope formula, we take the <em>second y</em> minus <em>the first y</em> which in this case is -3 - 5 over our<em> second x </em>minus <em>our first x </em>which in this case is 6 - -2.
-3 - 5 simplifies to -8 and remember that minus a negative can be thought of as plus a positive so 6 - (-2) can be thought of as 6 + (+2) which is 8.
Now we have -8/8. Notice that our slope can be simplified one step further so we have <em>m = -1</em>.
The variable that's used to represent slope is <em>m</em>.
