Answer:
x = -13/5
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the number
8x + 6 = 3x - 7
move variables to left and numbers to right
8x - 3x = - 7 -6
5x = -13
x = -13/5
Answer:
y=2, x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
We can add the two equations together to eliminate x:
6x+5y+(-6x)+7y=4+20
12y=24
y=2
We plug y into the first equation and get
6x+5(2)=4
6x+10=4
6x=-6
x=-1
Distribution property. You would distribute 4 into (y + 5), giving you the answer 4y + 20.
