<span>Simplifying 7p + 2 = 5p + 8 Reorder the terms: 2 + 7p = 5p + 8 Reorder the terms: 2 + 7p = 8 + 5p Solving 2 + 7p = 8 + 5p Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-5p' to each side of the equation. 2 + 7p + -5p = 8 + 5p + -5p</span>

Y=-x+2 <br> y=-5x-6 <br> What is y and x
tatyana61 [14]
To solve this system of equations, since y is already isolated in both equations, you can set the expressions to equal each other to solve for x:

-x + 2 = - 5x - 6
-x + 5x = -6 - 2
4x = -8
x = -2

Now that we have x, we can substitute it into one of the equations to find y:

y = -(-2) + 2
y = 2 + 2
y = 4

The last step is to substitute both values into both equations to see if they are correct:

4 = -(-2) + 2    -->    4 = 2 + 2    <--True
4 = -5(-2) - 6    -->    4 = 10 - 6    <--True

Answer:
x = -2
y = 4

HELP ASAP PLEASE!!!!
Ugo [173]

Only problem is with the simplifying.

We all know that 5/5 = 1, it is natural to  assume (x+a)/(x+a) is also 1, but in some cases where x+a=0, it is undefined. In this equation, where they simplify (x-2) and (x-6), you must say that x is not 2 nor 6 or, you just delete 0/0 which is undefined.

Therefore the only solution would be x=-1
