First you want to know what y or x is i chose y for this on 

so the equation i'm going to use is -2x-5y=3
i want to solve for y

-2x-5y=3
+2x        +2x

-5y=2x+3
 /-5   /-5  /-5
y=-2/5x+-3/5

Now that i solved for y we substitute our answer into the next equation to solve for x like this:

3x+8y=-6
3x+8(-2/5x+-3/5)=-6
3x+ -3.2x+-4.8=-6
-0.2x+-4.8=-6
          +4.8  +4.8
-0.2x=-1.2
/-0.2    /-0.2
x=6

After you know what x is you substitute it in for any of the equations that we started with. I picked 3x+8y=-6 to find y.

3x+8y=-6
3*6+8y=-6
18+8y=-6
-18      -18
8y=-24
/8     /8
y=-3

Since we know what x and y are we substitute it with any of the equations that we started with. i picked -2x-5y=3

-2*6-5*-3=3
-12- -15=3
3=3 
so our solution (6,-3) works

The value of a collectible coin can be represented by the equation y = 2 x + 15, where x represents its age in years and y repre
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

53$

Step-by-step explanation:

They tell you the equation of how much the coin is worth after x amount of years

Step 1: Substitute x=19 into the equation y=2x+15

y = 2(19) + 15

Step 2: Solve for y

y = 2(19) + 15

y = 38 + 15

y = 53

Therefore the coin is worth 53 dollars after 19 years

You are baking brownies for your class. There are 28 total students in your class and you have baked 23 brownies. Write and solv
barxatty [35]

Answer:

2(28)=23+x

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 28 students and each student needs two brownies. You have to multiply 28 by 2 so you will have to total number on one side.

On the other you need to have the number of brownies you have at the moment and x for the number you need to bake. You want to add them because you will need to put those numbers together to get the number on the opposite side.

28x2=56 so 56=23+x. Subtract the 23 from both sides to get 33=x. x=33

To check plug 33 into x to get 2(28)=23+33. 56=23+33. 56=56

you need 33 more brownies.

So the equation would be 2(28)=23+x.

Hope that helps.
