Answer: -9

Step-by-step explanation: In this equation, notice that <em>x</em> is being multiplied by a fraction. In this situation, in order to get <em>x</em> by itself, we must multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of that fraction.

The reciprocal of a fraction is just that fraction flipped so the reciprocal of -2/3  is just -3/2. So here, in order to get <em>x</em> by itself, we multiply both sides of the equation by -3/2.

On the left, our 3's cancel and our 2's cancel and we have <em>x</em>. On the right our 6 and 2 reduced to 3 and 1 so we have 3 x -3 which is -9

Now we have x = -9.

3x + 2 y = 8<br> 5x + 2 y = 12<br> What is the solution of the system of equations shown above?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

First solve it:

Subtract the x's from both sides

2y = -3x +8

2y = -5x +2

Divide by two

y= -1.5x + 4

y = -2.5x +1

set them equal to each other:

-1.5x +4 = -2.5x +1

Add 2.5 x to both sides

1x +4 = 1

x +4 = 1

subtract 4 from both sides

x = -3
