Answer:
x = 3 , y = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that both equations is equal to y. Set the two equations equal to each other
y = 7x - 8; y = 5x - 2
7x - 8 = y = 5x - 2
7x - 8 = 5x - 2
Isolate the x. Subtract 5x and add 8 to both sides
7x (-5x) - 8 (+8) = 5x (-5x) - 2 (+8)
7x - 5x = -2 + 8
Simplify.
(7x - 5x) = (-2 + 8)
2x = 6
Isolate the x. Divide 2 from both sides
(2x)/2 = (6)/2
x = 6/2
x = 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plug in 3 for x in one of the equations.
y = 7x - 8
y = 7(3) - 8
Simplify. Remember to follow PEMDAS.
y = 7(3) - 8
y = 21 - 8
y = 13
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x = 3, y = 13 is your answer

It could be 443, try simplifying to the nearest hundreaths, hope this helps!
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
8x and 56 are not like terms
x is a variable and 56 is a constant
8x can be added to 56 but they cannot be combined together into one term
8x+56 cannot be combined because they are not like terms
Answer: x = 9
Mel's mistake was in the last step, she multiplied by 2 instead of dividing by 2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 1 = 19
Subtract 1 from each side
2x = 18
Divide by 2
x = 9
For when x=2, You get 14.
For when x=3, You get 11.
Therefore, x=2 gives a bigger value.
