11/7 just flip the numerator and the denominator
4x + y = 5
3x + y = 8
y = -3x + 8
4x +(-3x + 8) = 5
4x -3x + 8 = 5
x + 8 = 5
x = -3
y = -3(-3) + 8
y = -9 + 8
y = -1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3 (4 -6) = -8 is correct. The next step is to combine 4 and -6, obtaining
3(-2)
and this 3(-2) should equal -6, which is not the same as -8.
3(4 - 6) = 12 - 18, which differs from the student's solution. This is the reason for the wrong answer.
