These two lines are congruent (the same) so we can set them equal to each other and solve.
5x-4=3x+6
The first thing we need to do is subtract 3x from both sides leaving us with 2x-4=6
Now we can add 4 to both sides leaving us with 2x=2
Now we need to divide both sides by 2 to get x alone.
Giving us our final answer of x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the answer is A.
1.) 6x-8y=18, 2x+8y=6 → Multiplication property of equality
2.) 8x=24 → Addition property of equality
3.) x=3 → Division property of equality
4.) 3(3)-4y=9 → Substitution property of equality
5.) 9-4y=9 → Simplify
6.) -4y=0 → Subtraction property of equality
7.) y=0 → Division property of equality
