5*a+2*b=23
5*a-2*b=7:
a=(23-2b)/5
b=(7+5a)/2:
a=(23-2*(7+5a)/2)/5
5a=23-7-5a
5a+5a=23
a=23/10
b=(7+5*23/10)/2
b=(7+23/2)/2=(37/2)/2=37

Answer: a = 10 and b= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x =5 y = 2

5a + 2b = 23-------(1)

5a - 2b = 7---------(2)

(1) -(2)

4b = 16

b = 16/4

b = 4

also, (1) + (2)

10a =30

a = 30/10

a = 3

I’m stuck and I would really like your help.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Answer: 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5x-4=8-3/5x.

We want to tank x out of the denominator by multiplying x on both sides.

2/5-4x=8x-3/5

Now we simplify

-12x=-1

x=1/12

Put x in the equation to check it

Solve for y <br> 6x - 2y = 12<br> A. y= -3x + 6<br> B. y= 3x - 6<br> C. -3x + 6<br> D. -3x - 6
ololo11 [35]
The answer is y=3x-6. (B). First you subtract 6x from both sides. Then you get -2y=12-6x. Now, you divide both sides by -2. This gets you the final answer; y=3x-6 or y=-6+3x.
