1. The simplified expression is 10x+8y-12.
Combine like terms to simplify the expression.
-6x-12+8y+16x
-6x and 16x are both like terms, so those can be combined.
-6x+16x=10x
10x+8y-12
2. The solution to the equation is x=13.
Solve by adding 17 to both sides of the equation.
-4=-17+x
-4+17=-17+17+x
13=x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract the 4 from 9
Answer:
12 and 7 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is 84 square meters and the width is 5 meters less than the length. 12 is the length and 7 is the width. 7 is 5 less than 12, and 12*7=84.
The length is 12 and the width is 7
-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1
Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts. First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable. I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.
-x - y = 8 add y to each side
-x = 8 + y divide by -1
x = -8 - y
So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation. In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.
2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1 multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1 combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1 add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15 divide each side by -3
y = -5
Now we have a value for y. We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x. I usually choose the most simple equation.
-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8 multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8 subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3 divide each side by -1
x = -3
So our solution set is
(-3, -5)
That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.
