Answer:
x = 72 / 85
Step-by-step explanation:
x -6/7=-x/84
x + x/84 = 6/7
84/84x + 1/84x = (12*6) / (12*7)
85/84x = ( 72 ) / ( 84 )
85/84x = 72 / 84
Multiply left and right from the = sign by 84/85 and you do that so you get a division ON THE LEFT SIDE that equals as 1... See how it works:
84/85 * { 85/84 } * x = 84/85 * { ( 72 ) / ( 84 ) }
{ (84 * 85) / ( 85 * 84) } * x = ( 84 * 72 ) / ( 85 * 84 )
(7140) / ( 7140) * x =. ( 6048 ) / ( 7140)
x = 6048 / 7140
x = 72 / 85

Try to use your calculator and just substitute values
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8x - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms:
2x + 6x - 10
= 8x -10
-x + 5y = 8
multiply this equation by 3
-3x + 15y = 24
now add it to the other equation ( elimination)
-3x + 15y = 24
3x + 7y = -2
-----------------------
0x + 22 y = 22
divide each side by 22
y =1
substitute into -x + 5y =8 to find x
-x + 5(1) = 8
-x + 5 = 8
-x =3
divide by -1
x =-3
