Since both the expressions in x are equal to y then they are equal to each other, so
-2x + 3 = 13x - 4
-15x + 3 = -4
-15x = -7
x = 7/15
and y = -2(7/15) + 3 = 31/15 = 2 1/15
High school math classes are more advanced than middle school math classes
When u multiply by a fraction, you get a smaller number. Multiplication means<span> “of,” especially with fractions. So 0.2 × 9 means, “0.2 of nine”—and that’s smaller than nine. Hope that helps
