Answer:I think Jordan is this a trick question
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
cancel out 5 by multiplying its by 5, what you do to one side you do to the other. so you also multiply 12 by 5. and you should get 60
5x+3y=58
5x-3y=22
(3y gets cancelled bc 3y-3y=0, then add 5x with 5x, so you're left with)
10x=80, (divide both sides by 10)
x=8
Now we look for y. So choose one formula from the two (let's say 5x + 3y=58)
Substitute x for 8 so it will look like---- 5(8)+3y=58
Multiply 5*8--- so you get -- 40+3y=58
Subtract 40 from both sides and you're left with 3y=18
divide both sides by 3
you get y=6
In conclusion, x=8 and y=6 hence, (8,6)
( - 45, 0)
to find the x-intercept let y = 0 in the equation
x = 0 →
x = - 15
multiply both sides by 3
x = 3 × - 15 = - 45
x-intercept = ( - 45, 0)
