Isolate the x. First, multiply 2 to both sides
-x/2(2) < 4(2)
-x < 4(2)
-x < 8
Isolate the x. Divide - 1 to both sides (because you are dividing a negative number, flip the sign).
-x/ -1 < 8/-1
x > -8 is your answer
hope this helps

Answer:
The answer to your question is:
x = 4
y = -1
z = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
3 x + 2 y + z = 7
5 x + 5 y + 4 z = 3
3 x + 2 y + 3 z = 1

Answer:
12. Option b: 20 is the correct answer.
13. Option a: A rose costs $1 more than a daisy is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
12. Given that:
15x+10y=700 Eqn 1
x+y=60 Eqn 2
To find x, we will eliminate y be multiplying Eqn 2 by 10
10(x+y=60)
10x+10y=600 Eqn 3
Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2
(15x+10y)-(10x+10y)=700-600
15x+10y-10x-10y=100
5x=100
Dividing both sides by 5

Hence,
Option b: 20 is the correct answer.
13. Given that:
5x+4y=32 Eqn 1
x+6y=22 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 2 by 5
5(x+6y=22)
5x+30y=110 Eqn 3
Subtracting Eqn 1 from Eqn 3
(5x+30y)-(5x+4y)=110-32
5x+30y-5x+4y=78
26y=78
Dividing both sides by 26

Putting y=3 in Eqn 2
x+6(3)=22
x+18=22
x=22-18
x=4
Hence,
Option a: A rose costs $1 more than a daisy is the correct answer.
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, we need to isolate the variable, x
5x-18=2(3x-12) +4
Distribute the 2
5x-18=2*3x + 2*-12 +4
5x-18=6x-24+4
Combine like terms (add -24 and 4)
5x-18=6x-20
Add 18 to both sides
5x=6x-2
Subtract 6x from both sides
-x=-2
Divide both sides by -1
x=2
