Use the Distributive Property to Simplify. However, to make it easier, write out the equation like this.
-1(-7y+12)
This makes it so it simplifies to 7y-12.

In front of the negative their is an invisible 1 and that invisible 1 is the one your going to do distributive property with and then get a positive 7 because a negative divided by a negative is a positive.Your going to do the same thing to the twelve and then your answer is going to be 7y-12

3 over 5 is 30% of what number?

denis23 [38]

3/5 = 0.3 * x
3/5 is 30% of x - This is how they match up from the word problem to a number sentence

So to solve it...
3/5 = 0.3x
x = 3/5 ÷ 0.3 = 2

Is (2, 3) a solution to this system of equations? 2x + 5y = 19 X + 16y = 5 yes no

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To check if (2,3) is a solution to the system of equations, we simply have to plug the coordinate points into the two equations and see if it is valid.

$2*2+5*3=\\4+15=\\19\\\\19=19$

(2,3) belongs in the first equation.

$2+16*3=\\2+48=\\50\\\\50\neq 5$

(2,3) does not belong in the second equation.

Therefore, (2,3) is not a solution to this system of equations.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
