Solution:
Given equation is
.
To solve the equation by step by step.
Step 1: Given

Step 2: Combine like terms together.
Plus symbol changed to minus when the term goes from right to left (or) left to right of the equal sign.

Step 3: Subtract the fractions in the left side.

⇒ 
Step 4: Divide both side of the equation by 3, we get


Hence, the answer is
.
The rate of change is -2 :)
The lowest number is 2/1 or 2.
reduce 8/4 to 4/2 which can be reduced to 2/1
5x + 60y = 35
x +y = 1.5 : rewrite as x = 1.5-y and substitute this formula for x in the first one:
5(1.5-y) + 60y = 35
distribute:
7.5 - 5y + 60y = 35
combine like terms:
7.5 + 55y = 35
subtract 7.5 from both sides:
55y = 27.5
divide both sides by 55 to solve for y
y = 27.5 / 55 = 0.5
now substiute 0.5 for y in the 2nd equation:
x + 0.5 = 1.5
x = 1.5 - 0.5 = 1
