Answer:

(7-2x)3 =9-10x

x= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

we let the number to be x.

twice a number=2x is decreased by 7 that is to say 7-2x, is multiplied by 3, we have (7-2x)3.

the result is 9 less than 10times the number which is =9-10x.

so bringing all these together we have;

(7-2x)3=9-10x.

what is the number?

solving, we have:

(7-2x)3=9-10x

21-6x=9-10x

21-9= -10x+6x

12= -4x

dividing both sides by -4 we have our number

x= -3.

for proof we can substitute x=-3 into the equation.

21-6(-3) =9-10(-3)

21+18=9+30

39=39

Write a system of equations with a solution (4,–3)
Gennadij [26K]
<span>1.       </span><span>So we have the system of equation. (4, -3)
let’s create another system of equation.
Let a = 4
and Let b = -3
First equation
=> Let’s pick any numbers to be used. Let’s have number 5
=> 5a + 5b
=> 5 (4) + 5 (-3)
=> 20 + (-15)
negative and positive is equals to negative
=> 20 – 15
=> 5 (this the first value of our equation, let this be the value of X)

Second
=> Pick another number, Let’s have 6
=> 6a + 6b
=> 6 (4) + 6 (-3)
=> 24 + (-18)
=> 24 – 18
=> 6 (this is the value of our second equation, let this value be Y)

Now, we have (A, B) = (4, -3) and (X, Y) = (5,6)</span>
