Answer:
B. (-2,-4)
Explanation
Given equations:
y = 3x + 2
y = -2x - 8
Solving both equations will yield the values of x and y;
Solution:
y = 3x + 2 ----- (i)
y = -2x - 8 ------ (ii)
Using substitution method, input equation i, into ii
3x + 2 = -2x - 8
Collect like terms and solve;
3x + 2x = -8 -2
5x = -10
x = -2
Then put x = -2 into i, to find y
y = (-2 x 3) + 2
y = -6 + 2 = -4
So, the solution of the equation is B. (-2,-4)
Answer:
Raymond's mistake was on the last step, since he didn't square root both sides
The correct answer should be

Answer:
2x+3(10+x)
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not sure but I think this might be the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
the error:
it is stated that
subtract (5x)/(x+7) from both sides

multiply both sides by x + 7
7(x+7) = 49x
7x + 49 = 49x
subtract 7x from both sides to isolate x and its coefficient
49 = 42x
thus, this is only true when 49 = 42x. in order for these two equations to be equal, they must <em>always </em>be true, so this is wrong
the solution:
we want to express 7/x as (something) / (x+7). to do this, we can multiply 7/x by 1.
anything divided by itself = 1. thus, if we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by something that turns x into (x+7), we can do what we want to do.
(x+7)/x * x turns x into (x+7), so we multiply both the numerator and denominator by (x+7)/x to get

substitute this for 7/x in our original problem
