Then you can cross multiply if you know how to do that.
1*x = (-11)(-3)
x = 33 but what happened to the 2 minus signs?
Remember that a ( - ) times a ( - ) = a plus. The two minus signs become a plus.
Are you trying to simplify the equation? if so, combine the like terms on each side first. -3x + 3 = -2 + 2x. Then simplify, -5x = -5. And solve, x = 1
The rule is minus 5.
So 20, 15, 10, 5, 0, -5
Answer:
3. The first equation can be multiplied by 3 and the second equation by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 x + 3 y = 25 (1)
-3 x + 4 y = 22 (2)
Multiply equation (1) by 3 and (2) by 2.
3(2x) = 6x
2(-3x) = -6x
When you add the two equations, x will get cancelled last
