When x-y=3 work out the value of y-x

The value of y-x is (-3)

<u>Solution:</u>

Given: The value of x-y=3

To find: The value of y-x

\bold{x-y=3\rightarrow (1)}

Let's multiply the equation (1) by (- 1) on both sides,

\Rightarrow\bold{(x - y)\times(- 1) = 3\times(- 1)}

\Rightarrow\bold{-(x-y)=-3}

On multiplying the sign,

\Rightarrow\bold{(-x+y)=-3}

The above equation can also be written as,

\Rightarrow\bold{y-x=-3\rightarrow \text{(The required equation)}}

<u>Multiplication of signs:</u>

\Rightarrow( + )\times( + ) = ( + )

\Rightarrow( + )\times( - ) = ( - )

\Rightarrow( - )\times( + ) = ( - )

\Rightarrow( - )\times( - ) = ( + )

In simpler terms, when we multiply two integers with the same signs, the result is always positive and when we multiply two integers with different signs, the result is always negative.

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor.
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

I take it that 24 is in front of j which means that the term is 24j.  There shouldn't be a comma there.

  • 24 = 8*3
  • 16 = 8*2

Both numbers have 8 in common, and that's all they have in common. The GCF is therefore, 8

24j - 16 = 8(3j - 2)    That's the answer.

Answer: 8 (3j - 2)

Which ordered pair is a solution for the system of equations? {3x−5y=152x−y=−4 (−5, −6) (0, 3) (2, 8) (−6, −11)
SashulF [63]
3x-5y =15

2x-y=-4 
multiply the equation by 5 and then subtract   equation 2 from equation 1
so 3x-5y =15
    10x-5y =-20
-7x =35 x =-5  
plug in the value of x in the second equation -10 -y =-4  - y= -4 +10 y =-6
x=-5 y=-6
