Answer:
Solution point is (-1,-9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the value of y in the first equation into the second equation.
- 2x + 5(3x - 5) = - 42 Remove the brackets on the left
- 2x + 15x - 25 = - 42 Combine like terms on the left
- 17x - 25 = - 42 Add 25 to both sides
- 17x - 25 + 25 = - 42 + 25 Do the addition
- 17x = - 17 Divide by 17
- 17x/17 = -17/17 Do the division
- x = - 1
=======
Solve for y
- y = 3x - 6
- x = -1
- y = 3(-1) - 6
- y = -3 - 6
- y = - 9
Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 5 = 2x + 3 ( subtract x from both sides )
5 = x + 3 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
2 = x
The -9 stays the same the whole time but the other number being multiplied decreases by one each layer, so the next three would be:
-9 x -1 = 9
^^^ -1 is in the second multiplication slot bc 0 - 1 = -1
-9 x -2 = 18
^^^ -2 is in the second multiplication slot bc 0 - 2= -2
-9 x -3 = 27
^^^ -3 is in the second multiplication slot bc 0 - 3 = -3
***Remember that when you are multiplying two negative numbers the solution will be positive
Hope this helped!
