3x - 2y - 1 = 0
y = 5x + 4
3x - 2(5x + 4) - 1 = 0
3x - 10x - 8 - 1 = 0
-7x - 9 = 0
-7x = 9
x = -9/7
y = 5x + 4
y = 5(-9/7) + 4
y = -45/7 + 4
y = -45/7 + 28/7
y = - 17/7
solution is (-9/7, -17/7)
Your answer is x = 3 because if you take 150 and subtract it by both sides:
150 - 35x = 45
-150 -150
you have to cross out both 150 and -150, take 45 and subtract 150 which will give you -105.
-35x = -105
take -35 and divide by both sides. Cross out the two -35's. Take -105/-35 which your answer is x = 3. Hopes this helps. :)
