Get the x variable on one side and the numbers another side.
9/10(x + 2/3) = 4 1/2
Distribute the 9/10 across the x and 2/3.
(9/10)x + 18/30 = 4 1/2
Simplify 18/30 to make our life easier.
(9/10)x + 3/5 = 4 1/2
Subtract 3/5 from each side of the equation.
(9/10)x = 3 9/10
Divide both sides by 9/10.
x = 4 1/3
-9 8/9 pretty sure hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
7x+5y=25 ×3 7×-1.5+5y=25
5x+3y= -23 ×5 -10.5 +5y =25
5y= 25 + 10.5
21x+15y=75 5y= 35.5
25x+15y=69 y= 7.1
-4x=6
x=-1.5
-8 and 5: -8 x 5 = -40; -8 + 5 = -3
