The solution is x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is a linear equation so it will have only one equation

Given equation is:

$5x+3=2x+15$

Subtraction property of equality:

$5x+3-3 = 2x+15-3\\5x = 2x+12$

Subtraction property of equality:

$5x-2x = 2x-2x+12\\3x = 12$

Division Property of Equality:

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{12}{3}\\x = 4$

Hence,

The solution is x = 4

Which of the following points are solutions to the system of inequalities shown below?

vlada-n [284]

The following solutions to the given system of inequalities shown above would be option c : (-3, -5) option d : (0, 4) option e. (4, 4) and option f. (2, -1)
So how did I know the answer. To check this, you just have to substitute the values.
For example let us take option c (-3, -5)
y < 3x + 5
-5 < 3(-3) + 5
-5 < -9 + 5
-5 < -4 <<You see that -4 is greater than -5 which makes this inequality correct. This is the same process as with the other correct options.
Hope that this answer helps.
