I believe it is b)
Because you always do rise over the run and if it goes right then it is positive and if it goes left it is negative.
16=8
first you need to get rid of the parenthesis by doing distributive property which gives you -4x+16=8-4x next you cancel equal terms which is -4x so then you get
16=8 btw the equation would be false
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
The numbers are 6 and 2x, then:
- 1/6 + 1/(2x) = 7/24
- 1/3 + 1/x = 7/12
- (x+3)/(3x) = 7/12
- 12(x+3) = 7*3x
- 12x + 36 = 21x
- 21x - 12x = 36
- 9x = 36
- x = 4
The other number is 2*4 = 8
Okay so for substitution, chose one of of the equations to solve for x. Let's solve for the second one. So you have 2x-8y=32.
Start by adding 8y to both sides:
2x=8y+32.
Then you have to get x by itself so you divide both sides by 2 which will give you:
x=4y+16.
Now you have:
6x-4y=36
x=4y+16 (this was 2x-8y=32)
Now, plug in the second equation to the first one. You would do so by plugging in the second equation to where you see x. You would have:
6(4y+16)-4y=36
Now, multiply the 6 with the 4y and 16. you would then have:
24y+96-4y=36.
Now, combine your like terms to get:
20y+96=36
Then subtract 96 to both sides:
20y=-60
Then divide both sides so that you have y all by itself:
y=-30!
You now have the answer for y, so now plug what you got for y into the other equation: x+4y=16:
x+4(-30)=60
Solve for x:
x-120=60
add 120 to both sides:
x=180!
so Your answer is Y=-30 and X=180
I hope this helped:)
