Answer: 3x-5y=-9 is simplified to y=3/5x+9/5
x+2y=8 is simplified to y=-1/2x+4
So there’s 2 steps to this. First we subtract what was added on both sides. 10-4 : 13-4 and we get 6:9. This ratio is true, but is not in simplest form, since both numbers are divisible by 3. So after dividing both sides by 3, the answer in simplest form will be 2:3. The correct answer is 2:3
Answer:
x =
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value always returns a positive value but the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is
x + 4 = 3x - 5 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
- 2x + 4 = - 5 (subtract 4 from both sides )
- 2x = - 9 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x =
OR
-(x + 4) = 3x - 5
- x - 4 = 3x - 5 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
- 4x - 4 = - 5 ( add 4 to both sides )
- 4x = - 1 ( divide both sides by - 4 )
x =
As a check
Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions
| + 4 | = | | =
right side = - 5 =
left side = right side , thus x = is a solution
check second solution
| + 4 | = | | =
right side = - 5 = -
right side ≠ left sides, hence not a solution
