Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
6x
Discussion:
7x = 7 times x
x = 1 times x
So both terms are "like" terms in x:
7x - x = (7-1)x = 6x
Thank you,
MrB

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: diagonal
Step-by-step explanation:
I will go about solving this using the elimination method.
First, convert the equations.
10x + y = -20
4x + y = -12
Second, find the easiest variable to get rid of and get rid of it! (In this case, y) We will subtract to get rid of y.
6x = -8
Third, you want to solve the equation.
6x = -8 (divide by 6)
x =

Fourth, solve for y by inserting the answer for x into one of the equations.
10(

) + y = -20

+ y = -20 (subtract

)
y =

The solution for this system of equations is (

,

).
