Answer:
-2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
first you are going to distrubute 2/5, so 2/5 times x is 2/5x and 2/5 times -2 is -4/5
next you set up the problem with those two answers which gives you:
2/5x - 4/5 = 4x
then multiply both sides of the equation by 5: 2x-4=20x
next move the constant to the right side and chnage the sign: 2x=20x+4
then combine like terms: -18x=4
after that divide both sides of the equation by -18: -2/9
so x= -2/9
Answer:
x=2y-8
We use the substitution of x in the second equation
2*(2y-8)+3y= -2
4y-16+3y=-2
7y-16= -2
7y= -2 +16
7y=14
y=14Ș7
y=2
so x= 2*2 -8
x=4-8
x=-4
the solution is (x,y)=(-4, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
An equation that doesn't have a solution would have to end up as something impossible when you solve it all out, like
5=3.
When you simplify your equation out, you get
3x-4=3x+?
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-4=?
From this, you can tell that you need to out something in the ? that will make the equation false, or something that doesn't equal -4.
You could put anything in the ? as long as it is not -4.
