Multiply the first equation by 2:
4x+10y=8
Subtract the second equation from this so the 4x cancels:
3y = -3
y = -1
Plug into first equation:
2x -5 = 4
2x = 9
x = 9/2 = 4 1/2 = 4.5
So (x,y) = (-1,4.5)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 3
6 + 2x
3x + 2x = 5x
3 + 6 = 9
5x + 9
6/9 is equal to 2/3 is equal to 4/6. Equivalent fraction visually. Equivalent fractions on the number line. Equivalent fractions on the number line.
Hello there!
n - 5 ≤ 5n - 1
Solve for n
Let's start by subtracting 5n from both sides
n - 5 - 5n ≤ 5n - 5n - 1
n - 5 - 5n ≤ -1
We need to transfer -5 on the other side, we can do that by adding 5 on both sides
n - 5 - 5n + 5 ≤ -1 + 5
n - 5n ≤ -4
-4n ≤ -4
Finally divide both sides by -4
-4n/-4 ≤ -4/-4
n ≥ -1 (This is the answer)!
Do you know why I changed the sign?
A lot of students failed to remember that rules, which is:
When you are solving an inequality, if you divide both sides by a negative sign, you MUST change the symbol as well. If it was this <, it will change to this >. Got it? Cool!
I hope the steps are clear to understand. If you have questions, feel free to let me know...
As always, I am here to help!
