Answer:
No solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+4y=-4
15x+20y=-22
——————————
-5(3x+4y)=-5(-4) multiply 1st equation by -5 so you can eliminate the variables
-15x-20y=20. Modified 1st equation
15x+20y=-22. 2nd equation
0+0=-2. Added two equations together
since 0 does not equal -2, there is no solution.
The opposite of 12.1 is 12.2
Answer: a. x=4 b. x=17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 5x/2+1=11
subtract 1 from both sides : 5x/2=10
multiply both sides by 2 : 5x=20
divide both sides by 4 : x=4
b. 2x/7-3=2
add 3 to both sides : 2x/7=5
multiply both sides by 7 : 2x=35
divide both sides by 2 : x=17.5
