Answer:

x = 8

y = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a system of equations called simultaneous equations. We shall solve it by elimination method Step 1We shall label the equations (1) and (2)−3y−4x=−11.....(1)3y−5x=−61......(2)Step 2Multiply each term in equation (1) by 1 to give equation (3)1(-3y-4x=-11).....(1)-3y-4x=-11....(3)Step 3Multiply each term in equation 2 by -1 to give equation (4)-1(3y−5x=−61)......(2)-3y+5x=61.....(4)Step 4-3y-4x=-11....(3)-3y+5x=61.....(4)Subtract each term in equation (3) from each term in equation (4)-3y-(-3y)+5x-(-4x)=61-(-11)-3y+3y+5x+4x=61+110+9x=729x=72Step 5Divide both sides of the equation by 9, the coefficient of the unknown variable x to find the value of x 9x/9 = 72/9x = 8Step 6Put in x = 8 into equation (2)3y−5x=−61......(2)3y-5(8)=-613y-40=-61Collect like terms by adding 40 to both sides of the equation 3y-40+40=-61+403y=-21Divide both sides by 3, the coefficient of y to find the value of y 3y/3=-21/3y=-7Therefore, the values of x and y that satisfy the equations are 8 and -7 respectively

What expression represents the product of 3 less than twice x and 2 more than the quantity 3 times x?
Georgia [21]
"3 less than twice 'x' " . . . . that's (2x - 3)

" 2 more than the quantity (3 x) " . . . . . that's (3x + 2)

Their product is
                               (2x - 3) (3x + 2) .

If you want to expand it to a single expression, perform the multiplication,
and you have
                            6x² - 5x - 6  .

Help me with this please
nalin [4]
This is incorrect. X can be negative, making the expression on the left less than 0. If x were -10, then:
3 x -10 + 1 > 0
-30 + 1 > 0
-29 > 0
Is NOT true.
