Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2y = 1 (eqn 1)

y = -x + 2 (can also be written as y = 2 - x)

subbing y = -x +2 in eqn 1,

5x + 2(2-x) = 1

5x + 4 - 2x = 1

3x = 1 - 4

3x = -3

x = -1

Hope this helps, and please mark me brainliest if it does!

!!!!!!! Why isn't A the correct answer? I am having trouble to reason why A is wrong so please help if can!
docker41 [41]

Answer:

d.  x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u />\sqrt{(x + 3)}÷ (x+8)(x-2) = 0

f(x) / g(x) = 0

Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values −8,2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by (x−2)(x+8).

<u />\sqrt{(x + 3)} = 0 ------ square both sides

x + 3 = 0

solve for x:

x = -3
