4x - 2y = 14
y = 0.5x -1
Get just one variable on one side for both equations.
4x - 2y = 14 ⇒ 4x = 2y + 14 ⇒ 4x - 14 = 2y
y = 0.5x - 1 ⇒ x - 2 = 2y
Use the transitive property and then solve for x.
x-2 = 4x-14
12 = 3x
x = 4

So thi sis really simple since you have an equal sign so
(n/3)-(5n/6)=1/3
to subtract fractions, make the bottom number the same
n/3 times 2/2=2n/6
(2n/6)-(5n/6) or (2n-5n)/6 so
-3n/6=1/3
multiply both sides by 6
-3n=6/3=2
-3n=2
divide both sides by 3
-n=2/3
mmultiply boht by -1
n=-2/3
tada
n=-2/3
25/5 would be 5 as a whole number
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The like terms are the ones containing the variable 'c'. They are combined by adding their coefficients.
Working just with the coefficients of c, we have ...
Then the simplified expression is ...
(2 3/4)c +(3 1/8)c +7
= (5 7/8)c +7
