This is your typical algebra question where you are looking for an unknown value given some information. The information can be set up as:
8 - x = 4*(x +3)
Distribute the 4:
8 - x = 4x + 12
Rearrange to get variables on one side:
8 - 12 = 4x + x
Simplifiy:
-4 = 5x
Isolate the variable:
-4/5 = x
Twenty-fourth Amendment to the Constitution change about voting was related to prohibiting the Congress and the States from conditioning the citizens of their right to vote in federal elections on paying poll tax and other types taxes. They could now vote regardless of paying any kind of poll taxes. So correct option would be:
Option C: It prohibited poll taxes.
So you know that:
2x+y=14+y
and
5x-y=x+13y
Here you have two equations with two unknown variables:
If you isolate x from the second equations you get:
x=(7/2)y
Insert that in the first equations and solve for y:
2*(7/2)y+y=14+y
y=2
Insert that value for y in one of the two equations (i chose the first):
2x+2=14+2
x=7
Therefore x=7
Hope that helped.
Actually you could start with isolating x, and then insert that in one of the two equations.
2x + 2x+2 = -134
4x + 2 = -134
4x = -136 |: 4
x = -34
2x = 2 * (-34) = -68
2x + 2 = -68 + 2 = -66
This numbers are -66 and -68.
