Here's how to find the value of x:

<span>9 - 0.75 ( x + 8 ) - 5 = -6.5      find the difference of 9 - 0.75

</span><span>8.25 ( x + 8 ) - 5 = -6.5           add 5 to both sides
</span>
8.25 ( x + 8 ) = -1.5                distribute 8.25 to x and 8

8.25x + 66 = -1.5                    subtract 66 from both sides

8.25x = -67.5                          divide both sides by 8.25

x = 18.18181818......            the value of x is 18 2/11

hope this helps

False, because without practice you can’t become skilled at something (also teaching a skill you’re learning or have learned to someone else can help you get better as well).

You’re welcome and good luck!

Solve the system of equations below.<br> 5.1 – 2y=18<br> 3.x+3y=15
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer: y= -6.45 and y=5-x

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 5.1 from both sides.

-2y= 18-5.1

Simplify 18- 5.1 to 12.9

-2y=12.9

Divide both sides by -2

y= - 12.9/2

Simplify 12.9/2 to 6.45

y=-6.45

Factor out the common term 3.

3(x+y)=15

Divide both sides by 3.

x+y =15/3

Simplify 15/3 to 5.

x+y = 5

Sub. x from both sides

y= 5-x
