I got the same answer as you which is
X=(-3)
Y=(2)

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!

Distributive property of <br>4x 567​
Maksim231197 [3]

567 = 500+60+7

4*567 = 4*(500+60*7)

4*567 = 4*500 + 4*60 + 4*7 ... see note below

4*567 = 2000 + 240 + 28

4*567 = 2268

--------

note: multiply the outer term 4 by each term inside the parenthesis to use the distributive property. The general distributive property is a*(b+c) = a*b+a*c. This can be extended to a*(b+c+d) = a*b+a*c+a*d. You can have as many terms as you like inside the parenthesis.

Solve the equation <br> 4b + 22 = 5(b + 4) − 1
djverab [1.8K]

4b + 22 = 5 (b + 4) - 1 (remove the parantheses)

4b + 22 = 5b + 20 - 1 (calculate)

4b + 22 = 5b + 19 (move the terms)

4b - 5b = 19 - 22 (collect like terms and calculate)

-b = -3 (change the signs)

<em>b = 3</em>
