2(n+3)
two times the sum of a number (n) and 3
Answer:
1. y=5 and x=-5
2. y=2 and x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
1.y=-5x-19
y=-6x-24
since both equations are equal to y, they are also equal to eachother
-5x-19=-6x-24
addition P.O.E.
x-19=-24
addition P.O.E.
x=-5
substitute x into one equation
y=-5*-5-19
y=6
2. y=-6x-22
y=-3x-10
since both equations are equal to y, they are also equal to eachother
-6x-22=-3x-10
addition P.O.E.
-22=3x-10
addition P.O.E.
-12=3x
division P.O.E.
-4=x
substitute x into one equation
y=-3*-4-10
y=2
Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 5 = x - 3
Subtract x from each side
3x+5-x = x-3-x
2x+5 = -3
Subtract 5 from each side
2x+5-5 = -3-5
2x = -8
Divide each side by 2
2x/2 = -8/2
x = -4
