Answer:
To solve the system of equations by substitution:
<u>2x+y=-2</u>
<u>3x-y=7</u>
first solve for y:
2x+y=-2
y=-2x-2
Then plug ^^ equation for y in the other equation
3x-(-2x-2)=7
5x+2=7
5x=5
x=1
Then solve for y:
2(1)+y=-2
y=-4
Final answer is x = 1 and y = -4
Hope it helps!
Option D
Using the distributive property, -7(8x – 3) + x = -55x + 21
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that we have to use distributive property to simplify the given expression
Given expression is:
-7(8x – 3) + x
Let us first understand about distributive property
The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.
<em><u>The distributive property is represented as:</u></em>
a(b + c) = ab + ac
Apply this property in given expression for -7(8x - 3)
Apply the above result in given expression
Combine the like terms. Add -56x and x
Thus the given expression is simplified. Option D is correct
