3x-12y = 5
-x+3y = 9

First step is to make the coefficient of either x or y same.

3x-12y = 5
(-x+3y = 9)3

3x-12y = 5
-3x+9y = 27

-4y = 32
y = -8

20 subtracted from three times a number is 6 more than the number
kompoz [17]
<h3>20 subtracted from three times a number is 6 more than the number. Then the number is 13</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given statement is:</u></em>

20 subtracted from three times a number is 6 more than the number

We can translate the sentence into algebraic expression

Let "a" be the unknown number

Then,

20 subtracted from three times "a" is 6 more than "a"

Which means,

3a - 20 = 6 + a

3a - a = 6 + 20

2a = 26

Divide both sides by 2

a = 13

Thus the number is 13

10x +7 = -3х – 3 help guys
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

x = -10/13

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + 7 = -3x - 3

Add 3x to both sides

10x + 3x + 7 = -3x + 3x - 3

13x + 7 = 0x - 3

13x + 7 = -3

Subtract 7 from both sides

13x + 7 - 7 = -3 - 7

13x + 0 = -10

13x = -10

Divide both sides by 13

13x ÷ 13 = -10 ÷ 13

1x = -10/13

x = -10/13
