Hello there!

4(3x - 11) + 23 = 5x - 14

Apply the distributive property to 4(3x - 11)
4(3x) + 4(-11)
12x - 44

We now have:
12x - 44 + 23 = 5x - 14
Combine like-terms on the left-hand side of the equation.
-44 + 23 = -21

12x - 21 = 5x - 14
Get x on one side by subtracting 5x from both sides..
12x - 5x = 7x
5x - 5x = 0

7x - 21 = -14
Add 21 to both sides to isolate 7x.
-21 + 21 = 0
-14 + 21 = 7

7x = 7
Divide both sides by 7 to solve for x.
7x / 7 = x
7 / 7 = 1

We are now left with the following solution:
x = 1

I hope this helps!

-X + 2y= -3 and -8x — 3y= -5
Goshia [24]

Answer:

x=1, y=-1. (1, -1).

Step-by-step explanation:

-x+2y=-3

-8x-3y=-5

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

-8(-x+2y)=-8(-3)

-8x-3y=-5

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

8x-16y=24

-8x-3y=-5

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

-19y=19

y=19/-19

y=-1

-x+2(-1)=-3

-x-2=-3

-x=-3+2

-x=-1

x=1

(1, -1)

X = 50 (Is parallel to the y-axis so there is no intersection point)
Y= 40 (Is parallel to the x-axis so there is no intersection point)
Both no intercept with the other
