Hey there!☺

Answer:\boxed{x=\frac{-13}{2}}

Explanation:

-(2x+5)+14=22 Equation

−(2x+5)+14=22  Simplify both sides

−2x + −5 + 14 = 22 Distribute

(−2x) + (−5+14) = 22 Combine Like Terms

-2x + 9 = 22

-2x + 9 - 9 = 22 - 9 Subtract 9 from both sides

-2x = 13

-2x/-2 = 13/-2

-13/2 Add the negative to 13

x = -13/2

Hope this helps!

Answer:

6/8 and 9/12

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find any by multiplying numerator and denominator by any given number. The number multiplied has to be the same for the top and the bottom

1. Number is 2

3/4 * 2/2 = 6/8 (3*2 = 6  and 4*2 = 8)

2. Number is 3

3/4*3/3 = 9/12 (3*3 = 9 and 3*4 = 12)

What is the solution to this system of equations?
dalvyx [7]

There is no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

y = 2x + 1

4x - 2y = 4

Substitute y = 2x + 1 into 4x - 2y = 4

4x - 2(2x + 1) = 4

4x - 4x - 2 = 4

0x = 4 + 2

0x = 6

Anything to the multiple of zero is zero. Hence 0x = 0, and 0 ≠ 6

So there is no solution to the equation.

We ordinarily expect a variable to be a single letter. This problem statement defines each variable using a double letter, so that is what we have used. (Sometimes Brainly doubles up variable content in copied text, so we suspect that may have happened here.)
