Answer:
x = - 4 y = - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y= - 8
-9x-6y=60
First, solve for x in the first equation:
x+y = - 8 Subtract y from both sides
x + y - y = -8 - y y cancels on the left
x = - 8 - y
Now plug in what you found for x into the 2nd equation and solve for y.
- 9x - 6y = 60
-9(- 8 - y) - 6y = 60 Multiply out
72 + 9y - 6y = 60
72 + 3y = 60 Subtract 72 from both sides
72 - 72 + 3y = 60 - 72 72 cancels on the left
3y = - 12 Divie both sides by 3
3y/3 = -12/3 3 cancels on the left because 3/3 = 1
y = -4
Now plug your answer for y back into the first equation to get x.
x + y = -8
x + (-4) = - 8 Add 4 to each side
x - 4 + 4 = - 8 + 4 4 cancels on the left
x = -4
x = - 4 and y = - 4
Convert any mixed numbers to fractions.
Then your initial equation becomes:

Simplifying 60/4, the answer is

Well, variables are stuff like x and y because they can represent a number. They are variable in an equation. so if you have (3x^3)+(5X^2)+Y+9 then your variables are x X and Y (im assuming the capital X is there and not a typo) if that was a typo and meant to be lowercase, then its just a 2 variable with the x and y
Answer: x ≥ 6
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
12 less <u>than</u> 5 times a number ≥ 6 more <u>than</u> twice the number
5x - 12 ≥ 2x + 6
Note: the word "than" switches the order of the terms.
5x - 12 ≥ 2x + 6
<u>-2x +12</u> <u>-2x +12 </u>
3x ≥ 18
<u>÷3 </u> <u> ÷3 </u>
x ≥ 6
Graph: 6 -----------→ the dot is closed (filled in) since it is "equal to"
