Answer:

<h2>x = -6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+3=15\qquad\text{subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\-2x+3-3=15-3\\\\-2x=12\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-2)}\\\\\dfrac{-2x}{2}=\dfrac{12}{-2}\\\\x=-6

The answer is -6 because, u will transfer 3 to the other side where 15 is ,so the answer will be 12. Divide 12 by -2 it will be -6.

Look at this system of equations.<br> 2x +5 =9.5<br> 3x + 5y =10.5<br> What is the value of x+y
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

x = 2.25 y = 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = 9.5- 5

2x = 4.5

x = 4.5 ÷ 2

x = 2.25

know we now what is x so in the second one we evaluate x

3(2.25) + 5y = 10.5

6.75 + 5y = 10.5

5y = 10.5- 6.75

5y = 3.75

y = 3.75 ÷ 5

y = 0.75

that's it !

if you want to check your answer you can evaluate x and y so it will be like

2×2.25 + 5

= 4.5 + 5 = 9.5

and

3× 2.25 +5×0.75

= 6.75 + 3.75 = 10.5

Solve using substitution-2x-y=-9. 5x-2y=18
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Equation 1)  -2x-y=-9
Equation 2)  5x-2y=18

Multiply all of equation 1 by 2, so that both equations have (2y) in them.

1)  2(-2x-y=-9)

Simplify.

1)  -4x-2y=-18
2)  5x-2y=18

Subtract equations with each other.

-9x=-36

Divide both sides by -9.

x=4

Plug in 4 for (x) into equation 1.

-2x-y=-9

-2(4)-y=-9

Simplify.

-8-y=-9

Add 8 to both sides.

-y=-1

Divide both sides by -1.

y=1

(4, 1)

~Hope I helped!~

An angle measures 146° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

163 degrees and 17 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = 180

x-y = 146   then x = 146+y

substitute for x

146+y+y = 180

2y = 34

y = 17

x = 17+146 = 163
