Answer:
a) -10 b) 7
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 2(x+ 3) = x - 4
2x + 6 = x - 4
2x - x = -6 - 4
x = -10
b) 4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)
20x - 8 = 18x + 6
20x - 18x = 6 + 8
2x = 14
x = 14/2
x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:
4x = 60
60/4 = 15

Hi there!
To solve this problem using substitution, we need to set x equal to a value and substitute it into the other equation.
Since
x - 4y = 5,
x = 5 + 4y
3x - 7y = 10
3(5 + 4y) - 7y = 10
15 + 12y - 7y = 10
15 + 5y = 10
5y = -5
y = -1
Now that we know y is -1, we can substitute it back into the equation to find x:
y = -1
x - 4y = 5
x - 4(-1) = 5
x - (-4) = 5
x + 4 = 5
x = 1
So, your answers are x = 1 and y = -1.
Hope this helps!
Let the both the parts be 'x' and 'y'
x>y
We know that 4x = 5y
so x = 5y/4
x + y = 54
Replacing x we get
(5y/4) + y = 54
(5y +4y)/4 = 54
9y = 216
y = 24
Replacing y in ' x+y = 54'
we get x = 30
Hence the larger part is 30 whereas the smaller part is 24
