Answer:
x=-5 Hope this helped! Goodnight!
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−3(2x+6)=12
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−3(2x+6)=12
(−3)(2x)+(−3)(6)=12(Distribute)
−6x+−18=12
−6x−18=12
Step 2: Add 18 to both sides.
−6x−18+18=12+18
−6x=30
Step 3: Divide both sides by -6.
−6x
/−6
=
30
/−6
x=-5
It would help the chain run smoother and work better and faster.
If you equate both, the y is eliminated:
-6x-3 = -x+2
Simplify this to find x:
-5x = 5
x = -1
Fill in x=-1 in either equation:
y = --1 + 2 = 3
So (-1,3) is the solution, it is where the lines intercept.
5x+2y=3
-5x on both sides
2y=3-5x
divide by 2 on both sides
y=3/2-5/2x
rewrite in order (optional depending on teacher)
y=-5/2x+3/2
