Answer:

y=-5/2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the gradient whereas since the two lines are parallel they hav the same gradient. y=mx+c whereas m is the gradient. 5x+2y=12

2y=-5x+12

y=-5/2x+12(so the gradient is -5/2x..... gradient=-5/2

y-4=-5/2

x+2

y-4=-5/2(x+2)

y-4=-5/2x-5

y=-5/2x-5+4

y=-5/2x-1

What is 6(x+3)=2(2x+5)

koban [17]

Answer:

x = -4 ;

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x+3)=2(2x+5)

Distribution

6x+18 = 4x + 10

Subtract 4x on both sides

2x+18 = 10

Subtract 18 on both sides

2x = -8

Divided by 2

x = -4

Now if we have to substitute the value of X

6(-4+3)=2(-8+5)

Parenthesis first

6(-1) = 2(-3)

-6 = -6

8x-5y=15 6x+4y=43 solve the system by any method

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

$x=\frac{275}{62}$ , $y=\frac{127}{31}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>I will use the elimination method.</h3>

We want to make the X's the same:

$24x-15y=45$

$24x+16y=172$

Because the signs of the X's are the same we subtract the 2 equations to make:

(I put the second one on top of the 1st)

$31y=127$

So:

$y=\frac{127}{31}$

Substitute y into either equation 1 or 2:

(I chose equation 1)

$8x-5(\frac{127}{31})=15$

$8x=5(\frac{127}{31}) + 15$

$x=\frac{5(\frac{127}{31})}{8}$

So:

$x=\frac{275}{62}$
