-5x + y = -5.....multiply by -2
-4x + 2y = 2
---------------
10x - 2y = 10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-4x + 2y = 2
-----------------add
6x = 12
x = 12/6
x = 2
-5x + y = -5
-5(2) + y = -5
-10 + y = -5
y = -5 + 10
y = 5
solution is (2,5)
"Since the ratio is 5:7 you can think in total there was 12 equal blocks of money invested. 5 of those blocks belonged to Jim and 7 of those blocks belonged to Gail. Since they invested $3,600 and then made $6,450 in total there is $10,050. Divide that total into 12 equal blocks of $837.50 and 5 of those blocks belong to Jim. So he will get $4,187.50"
Answer:
It’s equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Collect like terms: 4x+12 = 4(3+x)
Expand brackets: 4x+12 = 12+4x
Rearrange: 4x+12 = 4x+12
Answer:
When you simplify you get 5/6. Hence both x can be removed and when divided by the exponents you get x cannot be equal to zero. The Answer is the second.
