To solve this system of equations, the easiest method to use is substitution. Both of our equations are already in terms of y (set equal to y), so we can substitute in the equivalent x values to create an equation with only one variable.


y = 14x - 6

y = -4x + 48


-4x + 48 = 14x - 6


To simplify, we are going to add 4x and add 6 to both sides of the equation to get all of the constant terms on one side of the equation and all of the variable terms on the other. We are also going to simplify by combining like terms.


-4x + 4x + 48 + 6 = 14x + 4x - 6 + 6

48 + 6 = 14x + 4x

54 = 18x


Finally, we must divide both sides of the equation by 18 because division is the inverse operation of multiplication, which allows us to cancel out the coefficient of 18.


54/18 = 18x/18

3 = x


Therefore, your answer is B. x = 3.


Hope this helps!

Answer:

x = 3

x = (-1)/2

x = 13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(2 x)/3 + 15 = 17

Put each term in (2 x)/3 + 15 over the common denominator 3: (2 x)/3 + 15 = (2 x)/3 + 45/3:

(2 x)/3 + 45/3 = 17

(2 x)/3 + 45/3 = (2 x + 45)/3:

1/3 (2 x + 45) = 17

Multiply both sides of (2 x + 45)/3 = 17 by 3:

(3 (2 x + 45))/3 = 3×17

(3 (2 x + 45))/3 = 3/3×(2 x + 45) = 2 x + 45:

2 x + 45 = 3×17

3×17 = 51:

2 x + 45 = 51

Subtract 45 from both sides:

2 x + (45 - 45) = 51 - 45

45 - 45 = 0:

2 x = 51 - 45

51 - 45 = 6:

2 x = 6

Divide both sides of 2 x = 6 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = 6/2

2/2 = 1:

x = 6/2

The gcd of 6 and 2 is 2, so 6/2 = (2×3)/(2×1) = 2/2×3 = 3:

Answer:  x = 3

______________________________________________________

Solve for x:

3 x - x + 8 = 7

Grouping like terms, 3 x - x + 8 = (3 x - x) + 8:

(3 x - x) + 8 = 7

3 x - x = 2 x:

2 x + 8 = 7

Subtract 8 from both sides:

2 x + (8 - 8) = 7 - 8

8 - 8 = 0:

2 x = 7 - 8

7 - 8 = -1:

2 x = -1

Divide both sides of 2 x = -1 by 2:

(2 x)/2 = (-1)/2

2/2 = 1:

Answer: x = (-1)/2

_______________________________________

Solve for x:

4 (2 x - 6) = 2

Divide both sides of 4 (2 x - 6) = 2 by 4:

(4 (2 x - 6))/4 = 2/4

4/4 = 1:

2 x - 6 = 2/4

The gcd of 2 and 4 is 2, so 2/4 = (2×1)/(2×2) = 2/2×1/2 = 1/2:

2 x - 6 = 1/2

Add 6 to both sides:

2 x + (6 - 6) = 1/2 + 6

6 - 6 = 0:

2 x = 1/2 + 6

Put 1/2 + 6 over the common denominator 2. 1/2 + 6 = 1/2 + (2×6)/2:

2 x = 1/2 + (2×6)/2

2×6 = 12:

2 x = 1/2 + 12/2

1/2 + 12/2 = (1 + 12)/2:

2 x = (1 + 12)/2

1 + 12 = 13:

2 x = 13/2

Divide both sides by 2:

x = (13/2)/2

2×2 = 4:

Answer: x = 13/4
