5 0

X = - 21/4

2/3x - 4 1/2 = - 8
2/3x = - 8 + 4 1/2

- 8 + 4 = - 4. Then do - 4 + 1/2 = - 3 1/2

2/3x = - 3 1/2

- 3 1/2 is the same as = - 7/2

2/3x = - 7/2

Flip the coefficient on the variable and multiply both sides by it.

(3/2)(2/3)x = - 7/2(3/2)

x = - 7/2(3/2)

x = - 21/4

Consider the following equation x= r-h/y.Solve the equation for h

Flura [38]

x= r - h/y subtract r from both sides

x-r = -h/y multiply each side by -y

-y(x-r) = h

-xy +yr = h

I have a stamp collection. 70% of my stamps are Canadian and 30% are international. I have 500 more Canadian stamps than interna

shutvik [7]

Answer: N= 375, C= 875

Step-by-step explanation: Let Canadian stamps=C

Let International stamps=N

C=875 and N=375

C - 500=N, .70(N + C) =C

Solve the following system:

{C-500 = N | (equation 1)

0.7 (C+N) = C | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{-N+C = 500 | (equation 1)

0.7 N-0.3 C = 0 | (equation 2)

Add 0.7 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{-N+C = 500 | (equation 1)

0 N+0.4 C = 350 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 0.4:

{-N+C = 500 | (equation 1)

0. N+C = 875. | (equation 2)

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:

{-N+0 C = -375. | (equation 1)

0 N+C = 875. | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 1 by -1:

{N+0 C = 375. | (equation 1)

0 N+C = 875. | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: | N = 375 and C=875
