Answer: x = -9

steps

Simplifying

14 + -2(x + 8) = 5x + -1(3x + -34)

Reorder the terms:

14 + -2(8 + x) = 5x + -1(3x + -34)

14 + (8 * -2 + x * -2) = 5x + -1(3x + -34)

14 + (-16 + -2x) = 5x + -1(3x + -34)

Combine like terms: 14 + -16 = -2

-2 + -2x = 5x + -1(3x + -34)

Reorder the terms:

-2 + -2x = 5x + -1(-34 + 3x)

-2 + -2x = 5x + (-34 * -1 + 3x * -1)

-2 + -2x = 5x + (34 + -3x)

Reorder the terms:

-2 + -2x = 34 + 5x + -3x

Combine like terms: 5x + -3x = 2x

-2 + -2x = 34 + 2x

Solving

-2 + -2x = 34 + 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-2 + -2x + -2x = 34 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: -2x + -2x = -4x

-2 + -4x = 34 + 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-2 + -4x = 34 + 0

-2 + -4x = 34

Add '2' to each side of the equation.

-2 + 2 + -4x = 34 + 2

Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0

0 + -4x = 34 + 2

-4x = 34 + 2

Combine like terms: 34 + 2 = 36

-4x = 36

Divide each side by '-4'.

x = -9

The system of equations y = - 2x + 3 and y = xis graphed. What is the solution to the system of equations ?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

(1,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=-2x+3 ----> equation A

y=x ----> equation B

we know that

The solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

The intersection point both graphs is the point (1,1)

see the given graph

therefore

The solution is the point (1,1)

Remember that

if a ordered pair is a solution of a system of equations then the ordered pair must satisfy both equations of the system

<u><em>Verify</em></u>

Substitute the value of x=1 and y=1 in each equation and analyze the result

<em>Equation A</em>

1=-2(1)+3

1=1 ---> is true

so

The ordered pair satisfy the equation A

<em>Equation B</em>

1=1 ---> is true

so

The ordered pair satisfy the equation B

therefore

The ordered pair (1,1) is a solution of the system because satisfy both equations
