-10x-10 = -3x+4
+3x +3x
————————
-7x-10 = 4
+10 +10

-7x = 14
then divide -7 on both side of the equal sign
you’ll get x=-2
then plug in -2 as x into one of the equations ( it doesn’t matter which one)
y= -10(-2)-10 = 20-10= 10
so y=10
Answer:
11 socks
Step-by-step explanation:
116 - 2 pants = 116 - 2 (35) = 116 - 70 = 46
46 / socks = 46/4 = 11.5
When using substitution, we are imputing an equation in place of a variable to eliminate one of the variables in the equation so that we can solve for the remaining variable.
For this example, we will be plugging in (-4y+12) wherever "x" is in the other equation.
3/4 x -5y = 7
3/4(-4y+12) -5y =7
((3/4)(-4y))+((3/4)12)-5y=7
-3y+9-5y=7
-8y= -2
y=(1/4)
Now find "x" by plugging in the y-value.
x=(-4*(1/4))+12
x= -1 +12
x=11
any questions? feel free to comment below!
X - the number
the quotient of the number and 8 = x/8
10 more than the quotient of the number and 8 = (x/8)+10
10 more than the quotient of the number and 8 is at least 12 = (x/8)+10≥12
