Answer:

\boxed {x = -75}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the value of x:

\frac{1}{3}x + 2 = \frac{1}{5}x - 8

-Take \frac{1}{5}x and subtract it from \frac{1}{3}x:

\frac{1}{3}x + 2 - \frac{1}{5}x = \frac{1}{5}x - \frac{1}{5}x - 8

\frac{2}{15}x + 2 = -8

-Subtract 2 to both sides:

\frac{2}{15}x + 2 - 2 = -8 - 2

\frac{2}{15}x = -10

-Multiply both sides by \frac{15}{2}, which is the reciprocal of \frac{2}{15}.

x = -10 \times (\frac{15}{2})

x = \frac{-10 \times 15}{2}

x = \frac{-150}{2}

-Divide -150 by 2:

x = \frac{-150}{2}

\boxed {x = -75}

So, the value of x is -75.

-8x+5y=-40 slope-intercept form
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
-8x+5y= -40

First, add 8x to both sides

5y= 8x-40

Now divide both sides by 5

y= 8/5x-8

Solve: 2 x + 5y + 5 = 0 <br> 2y=3x+17. <br> Find x and y
Yanka [14]

Answer:

x = -5 and y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 2x + 5y +5 = 0

a) 2x + 5y = -5

b) 2y = 3x + 17

b) y = 3/2x + 17/2

a) 2x + 5(3/2x + 17/2) = -5

a) 2x + 15/2x + 85/2) = -5

a) 19/2x = -5 - 85/2

a) 19/2x = -95/2

a) x = (-95/2) / (19/2)

x = -5

b) 2y = 3(-5) + 17

b) y = 2/2

y = 1
