5x+3y=-9
-2x+y=8

The first step is the trickery (and quite frankly, hardest to explain) part. You need to multiply one equation by a number that will create one variable to be the negative version of the other...(Confusing, right? Don't worry, I'll show you)

We are going to solve for X first.

We will multiply the second equation by -3
5x+3y=-9
-3(-2x+y)=(-3)8

Now simplify:
5x+3y= -9
6x-3y= -24

Now combine the two equations (add them together)
11x= -33
Divide by 11
X=-3

Now plug X in to one of the first equations:
5(-3)+3y= -9
-15+3y =-9
3Y= 6
Y= 2


So your final answer is:
x= -3
Y= 2

Hope this helps!

In your own words explain how you would solve this two step equation for the variable x. 9x-7=-7
NeX [460]

Answer:

Add 7 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation has to be just x = y

There cannot be another number on the same side as the variable

Now that we did that, the equation is 9x = 0

x = 0

Well, that was easy lol

Given the equation y − 3 = fraction 1 over 2 (x + 6) in point-slope form, identify the equation of the same line in standard for
gulaghasi [49]

Answer: x - 2y = -12

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

y - 3 = \dfrac{1}{2} (x+6)\\2(y - 3) = (2)\dfrac{1}{2}(x + 6)\\2y - 6 = x + 6\\\underline{-x +6}\quad\underline{-x + 6}\\-x + 2y = 12\\-1(-x + 2y = 12)\\x - 2y = -12

I need help on that one plzzz help me this is due tommorw morning answer
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

A = 45

B = 90

C = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Isosceles triangles have two side that are the same and two angles that are the same. Since one angle, B, is a right angle, 90°, that means the other 2 angles, A & C, added together equal 90°.

Divide 90 by 2 and you 45° for both A and C.
