Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

-7x + 12 – 2x = 23 + 13.0

Combine like terms

(-7x-2x) +12 = (23+13)

-9x +12 = 36

Subtract 12 from each side

-9x +12 -12 = 36 -12

-9x = 24

Divide each side by -9

-9x/-9 = 24/-9

x = -8/3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can combine the -7x and the -2x and the left side to get -9x and the 23 and 13 on the right side to get 36.

This gives us

-9x + 12 = 36

Subtacting 12 from both sides gives us

-9x = 24

dividing by -9 gives us

x = - 8/3

Simultaneous Equations <br> 2x+4y=22 <br> 2x+2y=15

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

x = 4

y = $\frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Ummmm

I'm not sure if this is corrrect but this is what I got

So first you solve 2x+4y=22 to find x

and you get x = $-2y+11$

Then you have to subtitute $-2y+11$ for $x$ in $2x+2y=15$

which you then get y= $\frac{7}{2}$

After you have to subttitute y= $\frac{7}{2}$ for y in x = $-2y+11$

which you get as x=4

Finally you get the answer as:

x = 4

y = $\frac{7}{2}$
