Hi!
We need to find the value of x by isolating it on one side of one of the equations.
5y = x - 7
Add 7 to both sides.
5y + 7 = x - 7 + 7
5y + 7 = x
Now put the value of x in the other equation.
2y = 5y + 7 + 3
Simplify
2y = 5y + 10
Subtract 5y from both sides.
2y - 5y = 5y - 5y + 10
-3y = 10
Divide by -3 on both sides.
y = -10/3
Now put the value of y in the other original equation to solve for x!
5 * -10/3 = x - 7
-50/3 = x - 7
Add 7 to both sides.
-50/3 + 7 = x - 7 + 7
-29/3 = x
The answer is C.){(-29/3, -10/3)}
Hope this helps! :)

Use exponential law, we have

Answer
Find out the how many comic books does Jim have.
To proof
Let us assume that comic books Jim have be u.
Let us assume that comic books Charlie have be v .
Let us assume that comic books bob have be w .
As given
jim has three times as many comic books as Charlie
thus
u = 3v
Charlie has two thirds as many books bob.
Thus

bob has 27 books .
i.e w = 27
Put this in the equation


Solving
v = 18
thus
comic books Charlie has be 18 .
Put v = 18 in the u = 3v
u = 3 × 18
= 54
comic books Jim has be 54 .
Hence proved
Answer:
The answer should be D
24x+21=-36x-8
subtract 8 from both sides
24x+29=-36x
add 24x to both sides
29=-60x
simplify
x=- 29/60
