Answer: x = (2 y)/5 - 6/5 , y = (5 x)/2 + 3
Solve for x:
2 y - 5 x = 6
Subtract 2 y from both sides:
-5 x = 6 - 2 y
Divide both sides by -5:
Answer: x = (2 y)/5 - 6/5
Solve for y:
2 y - 5 x = 6
Add 5 x to both sides:
2 y = 5 x + 6
Divide both sides by 2:
Answer: y = (5 x)/2 + 3
Let x represent the number originally signed up.
.. 360/x -6 = 360/(x +3)
.. 360*(x +3) -6x(x +3) = 360x . . . . . multiply by the product of denominators
.. 360x +1080 -6x^2 -18x = 360x
.. x^2 +3x -180 = 0
.. (x +15)(x -12) = 0
Solutions are x = {-15, 12}
