2x-8=12
First you add 8 to both sides...
2x = 20
Then you divide each side by 2...
x = 20
Done

Wrong things...
- did not do the same thing to the entire side of each side
- wrong multiplication choice

Mariah spent $9.50 on 9 pounds of limes and pears. Limes cost $0.50 per pound and pears cost $1.50 per pound. Let l be the numbe
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

4 pounds of lime and 5 pounds of pears

Step-by-step explanation:

I + P = 9

0.5l + 1.5P = 9.5

I = 9 - P

0.5(9 - P) + 1.5P = 9.5

4.5-0.5P + 1.5P = 9.5

4.5 + P (1P) = 9.5

P = 9.5-4.5 = 5

I = 9 - 5 = 4

Answer: 4 pounds of lime and 5 pounds of pears

Solve the system by graphing. Y=2x-9 y=-2x-1
sattari [20]

Answer:

(2,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment

One can also solve this by calculation:

y=2x-9

y=-2x-1

-

Rearrange either equation to find x.  I'll use the first:

y=2x-9

2x = y+9

x = (y+9)/2

Now use this value of x in the second equation:

y =  -2x-1

y =-2((y+9)/2)-1

y = (-2y-18)/2)-1

y = -y -9 - 1

2y = -10

y = -5

Now use -5 for y in the rearranged equation:

y =  -2x-1

-5 =  -2x-1

-2x = -4

x = 2

Solution is (2,-5)

But the question wants a graph solution, which is also fun when you use DESMOS.
