ICE Princess25 [194]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 8x from both sides.

5x+6−8x=8x+12−8x

−3x+6=12

Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides.

−3x+6−6=12−6

−3x=6

Step 3: Divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

6

−3

x=−2

Use substitution to solve the system of equations.
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

C (let me know if I am wrong!)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the equation.

If 5x+y = -24, then -24 - 5x = y.

x+ 3(-24-5x) = -2

= -14x-72=-2

= -14x-72+72=-2+72

= -14x=70

= -5

If x = -5, then -5 + 3y = -2.

3y = -2+5

3y = 3

y=1

So the answer is C.

Which is greater 15/27 or 16/24
Artemon [7]

Answer:

16/24

Step-by-step explanation:

let’s use the GCF of both which is 3 for 15/27

15/27 divided by 3 is 5/9

for 16/24 the gcf is 8

16/24 / 8 is 2/3

now we have to multiply 2/3 times 3

2/3 times 3 6/3 which is 2

so 16/24 is greater.
