Answer:
2. x = 47
3. x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
These problems involve proportions, or equivalent ratios. You can solve for 'x' in each by using cross-multiplication and division.
2. 28(7) = 4(x + 2)
Distribute = 196 = 4x + 8
Subtract 8 from both sides: 196 - 8 = 4x + 8 - 8 or 188 = 4x
Solve for x: x = 47
3. 2(2x + 7) = 11(3x - 4)
Distribute: 4x + 14 = 33x - 44
Add 44 to both sides: 4x + 14 + 44 = 33x - 44 + 44 or 4x + 58 = 33x
Subtract 4x from both sides: 4x + 58 - 4x = 33x - 4x or 58 = 29x
Solve for x: x = 2
32 = 2^5 <==== my answer is too short..lol
For Q3, you can subsitute x = 2 and y = 5 into the systems
-5(2) + 5 = -5
so it's a solution for the first system
-4(2)+2(5) = 2
it's also a solution for the second system
Answer:
-6/2 = Slope = - 3
Step-by-step explanation: Hope this helps!
