Answer:

x = 11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x - 12y = -8

5x + 2y = 48

you can combine all like terms from both equations together:

0x-10y=40

simplified:

-10y=40

y=-4

now you plug in the value of y into either equation:

5x+2(-4)=48

simplify

5x-8=48

add 8

5x=56

divide by 5

x=56/5=11.2

I hope this is a joke but the answer is 3 because 5/8 and 3/8 make 8/8 which equals 1 and 1 plus 2 equals 3

Solve the following for y: 9x − 3y = 18 (5 points) y = 3x + 6 y = 3x − 6 y = −3x − 6 y = −3x + 6

choli [55]

Answer:

y = 3x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

given 9x - 3y = 18

isolate - 3y by subtracting 9x from both sides of the equation

- 3y = 18 - 9x ( divide all terms by - 3 )

y = $\frac{18}{-3}$ - $\frac{9x}{-3}$

= - 6 + 3x = 3x - 6
