Answer: X=-7
Step-by-step explanation:
Using PEMDAS;
Step 1: Distribute the "3" in the part of the equation "3(x-2)"
3x - 6
Step 2: Consider the equation as a whole with the newly part of the equation from step 1, as it is a part of the equation
Therefore, re-written as,
3x - 6 + 48 = -3x
Step 3: Evaluate the re-written equation
Using basic mathematics skills, we can evaluate the following,
3x - 6 + 48 = -3x ➡ -6 + 48 = -6x ➡ 42 = -6x ➡ -7 = x
As shown, the answer is x=-7.
Answer:
A positive number
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the first equation is -2, you can see it right off.
the slope of the second equation is 2, notice both are in slope-intercept form.
both equations are the equations of a line, so is really just two lines.
because their slope differs, they're not parallel or equivalent, therefore, they lines do meet at some point, and one point only, and therefore, they have 1 solution only.
a system of equations with at least 1 solution, is a consistent system.
a consistent system with exactly 1 solution only, is not just consistent, but also independent.
Y + 6 2/3 = -14 1/2
-6 2/3 -6 2/3

Y = -21 1/6
