Answer: Q. ??
Hope this helps
The answer is 3. Would you like me to explain it?
4x - (9 - 3x) = 8x - 1
4x - (9) - -(3x) = 8x - 1
4x - 9 + 3x = 8x - 1
7x - 9 = 8x - 1 (-8x from each side)
-x - 9 = -1 (+9 to each)
-x = 8 (divide -1 from each side)
x = -8
-5x+13y=-7
5x+4y=24
add the equation to eliminate x:
13y+4y=-7+24
17y=17
solve for y:
17/17y=17/17
y=1
then plug in y into any equation to solve for x:
-5x+13y=-7, y=1
-5x+(13*1)=-7
-5x+13-13=-7-13
-5x=-20
-5/-5x=-20/-5
x=4
the answers are x=4, y=1
