First, you should combine the x terms:
-3x - 7 = 29
Then, get rid of the negative 7, by adding 7 to both sides.
-3x = 22
Finally divide 22 by -3, to solve for x.
x = -22/3 or -7.33
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: 20 yards of ribbon in total. Need to make 2 yards each.
To find out how many yards you need to cut, divide:
20 / 2 = 10
So, you need to make 10 cuts for the 20 yards.
Hope this helped.
From second equation y = 8 - x so
7x + 2(8 - x) = -14
5x = -14 - 16 = -30
x = -6
and y = 8 - -6 = 14
Answer x=-6,y=14
