You have to get the x to one side so you'll subtract 3x from -6x and 3x from 3x, the 3x will cancel out and -6x - 3x is -9x-7=11, you have to add 7 from both sides the 7+7 cancels out and also add 11+7 which leaves -9x=18, you have to divide -9x/-9 and do 18/-9, which gets you x=-2. Here's the work shown if you didn't what i said...
-6x-7=3x+11
-3x -3x
-9x-7=11
+7 +7
-9x=18
-9 -9
x=-2
In order to solve first convert both values into improper fractions:
18/5+63/10
second, convert both values to fractions with a base of ten:
36/10+63/10
finally, add the numerators:
99/10 is the final answer
The two numbers I will call x and y.
x + y = 31
x * y = 150
You then solve for one variable in either equation and substitute it into the other equation.
x + y = 31
x = 31 - y
Then you plug it in:
x * y = 150
(31 - y) * y = 150
-y² + 31y = 150
y² - 31y + 150 = 0 Then factor:
(y - 6)(y - 25) = 0
y - 6 = 0 y - 25 = 0
y = 6 y = 25
When you plug y into the original equations, it comes out that the two numbers are 6 and 25. You can check your work because 6+25 = 31 and 6*25 = 150. Hope this helps! :)
