Answer: (x-2) = (x+11)

------- -------

3 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First part is x-2 divided by on third. So the x-2 acts a the 1 so you put x-2 over 3. And you get:

(x-2)

--------

3

For the other side of the equation it is x +11 divide by 1/4. So the x+11 will act a the 1 in the fraction. And you will get:

(x+11)

--------

For this case we have the following expression:

\frac {1} {3} (x-2) = \frac {1} {4} (x + 11)

So, we have two equations of the form:y = \frac {1} {3} (x-2)\\y = \frac {1} {4} (x + 11)

Rewriting equation 1:

y = \frac {1} {3} (x-2)\\3y = x-2\\3y-x = -2

If we multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation we have:

9y-3x = -6

Rewriting equation 2:

y = \frac {1} {4} (x + 11)\\4y = x + 11\\4y-x = 11

If we multiply by 4 on both sides of the equation:

16y-4x = 44

Answer:

9y-3x = -6\\16y-4x = 44

Answer:

B. (2, 4)

Explanation:

<u>Given equations</u>:

a) y = x + 2

b) y = 3x – 2

Solve them simultaneously:

x + 2 = 3x – 2

x - 3x = -2 - 2

-2x = -4

x = 2

Then find y = x + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4

Solution: (x, y) = (2, 4)
