Equations:
4x - 2y = 12
-4x - 9y = 54
Multiple them in both sides
4x - 2y - 4x - 9y = 12 + 54
-2y - 9y = 66
-11y = 66
y= -6
If y= -6 then put y in first or second equation.
I put it in first equation
4x - 2.(-6) = 12
4x + 12 = 12
x= 0
Therefore
(x,y) = (0, -6)
Step-by-step explanation:
-x - 3 = x + 3
Solving like terms
-3 - 3 = x + x
-6 = 2x
-6 / 2 = x
-3 = x
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
3(2 + 4x) = -7 x 2 Distribute the 3
6 + 12x = -14 Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation
12x = -20 Divide both sides by 12
x =
Divide the top and the bottom of the fraction by 4
x = 
Each tricycle has 3 wheels and one seat, so the ratio of seats to wheels is 1:3
