Answer:
x = 13/3
Step-by-step explanation:
4(8x-3) - 30x = 5(x-5)
Distribute
32x - 12 - 30x = 5x -25
Combine like terms
2x -12 = 5x-25
Subtract 2x from each side
2x-12-2x = 5x-2x -25
-12 = 3x-25
Add 25 to each side
-12+25 = 3x-25+25
13 = 3x
Divide each side by 3
13/3 = x

Answer:
(-3, -4).
Step-by-step explanation:
-4x + y = 8
x - 5y = 17 Multiply this by 4:
4x - 20y = 68 Add this to the first equation:
-19y = 76
y = 76/-19
y = -4.
Plug this into the second equation:
x - 5(-4) = 17
x = 17 - 20
x = -3.
CHECK this result in equation 1:
-4(-3) + -4 = 8
12 - 4 = 8
8 = 8 <------ OK.
