Answer:
Since a and b = (a, b) = (x, y) have the same sign.....P will lie either in the 1st quadrant of the Cartesian plane or the 3rd quadrant of the Cartesian plane.
12 = 2/3(x - 3)
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
12 = 2/3x - 2
<em><u>Add 2 to both sides.</u></em>
14 = 2/3x
<em><u>Multiply both sides by 3.</u></em>
42 = 2x
<em><u>Divide both sides by 2.</u></em>
21 = x
The value of x is equal to 21.
(26X) - 34 = 18
26X = 18 + 34 = 52
X= 52 / 26 = 2
Step 1. multiply the bottom to the other side
3=(5x+5)/(11)
Step 2. multiply the eleven to the other side
33=(5x+5)
Step 3. subtract the 5 to the other side
28=5x
Step 4. divide by 5
x=28/5 or 5.6
hope that helps!
