-3x/2 + 5 would be equivalent.
The given expression is:
(x/2) + 5
Let's look at each terms separately:
x/2 means that you you're getting half the value of a number
+5 means that you are adding 5
Combining both, you can conclude that you are adding 5 to half a certain given number.
Comparing this with the choices, the correct choice would be:
C. five more than half a number.
In situations such as this one, why not look up the technical vocabulary, so that you can be sure of its meaning? I did that and found that my recollection of "inconsistent equations" was correct.
TRUE.
Answer: D

Answer:
The answer is A (-3,4,6).
Step-by-step explanation:
1 Solve for z in -3x-4y+z=-1
z=3x-1+4y
2 Substitute z=3x-1+4y into 2x+y-z=-8
-x-3y+1=-8
3 Substitute z=3x-1+4y into x+8y-z=23
-2x+4y+1=23
4 Solve for x in -x-3y+1=-8
x=-3y+9
5 Substitute x=-3y+9 into z=3x-1+4y
z=-5y+26
6 Substitute x=-3y+9 into -2x+4y+1=23
10y-17=23
7 Solve for y in 10y-17=23
y=4
8 Substitute y=4 into z=-5y+26
z=6
9 Substitute y=4 into x=-3y+9
x=-3
10 Therefore,
x=-3
y=4
z=6
