Answer:

x = 1.875

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Distribute</u>

1/2x + 3/2(x + 1) - 1/4 = 5

1/2x + 3/2x + 3/2 - 1/4 = 5

<u>Step 2:  Combine like terms</u>

4/2x + 6/4 - 1/4 = 5

2x + 5/4 = 5

<u>Step 3:  Subtract 5/4 from both sides</u>

2x + 5/4 - 5/4 = 5 - 5/4

2x = 3.75

<u>Step 4:  Divide both sides by 2</u>

2x / 2 = 3.75 / 2

x = 1.875

Answer:  x = 1.875

Solve the system of equations below algebraically <br> 2x+3y=6 and -5x+2y=4
Charra [1.4K]


Steps
I’m using elimination so I’m trying to get rid of y
To do that I multiply the first equation by 2 and the second by -3. Then solve
4x + 6x = 12
15x + -6x = -12
—————————
19x + 0 = 0
Divid by 19 to get x to one side. 0/19 is 0 so
X= 0
Plug that into an equation so 0 + 3y = 6
Divid by 3 and y = 2
Answer x = 0 y = 2
