Answer:

x = 5; y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y = 0

3x - 4y = 23

Let's eliminate y. Multiply the first equation by 4. Multiply the second equation by 5. Then add them.

8x + 20y = 0

(+) 15x - 20y = 115

------------------------------

23x = 115

x = 5

Now we substitute 5 for x in the first equation and solve for y.

2(5) + 5y = 0

5y = -10

y = -2

Solution: x = 5; y = -2

Hey there! :)

Answer:

(5, -2), or x = 5 and y = -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the two equations algebraically by eliminating a variable:

2x + 5y = 0

3x - 4y = 23

Eliminate the x variable by finding the least common multiple and multiplying both equations:

3(2x + 5y = 0)

2(3x - 4y = 23)

Distribute and subtract the bottom equation from the top:

6x + 15y = 0

6x - 8y = 46

------------------

0x + 23y = -46

23y = -46

y = -2.

Plug in y into an equation to solve for x:

2x + 5(-2) = 0

2x - 10 = 0

2x = 10

x = 5. Therefore:

The solution to this equation is (5, -2), or x = 5 and y = -2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to make things simpler, let's create a common denominator for every term. We can do this by multiplying (x+4) and (x+3) when the denominator has a (x+3) or (x+4), respectively. In other words:

$(\frac{3}{x+3} -\frac{4}{x+4})\div (\frac{2x}{x+3}-\frac{x}{x+4})$

$(\frac{3(x+4)}{(x+3)(x+4)}-\frac{4(x+3)}{(x+4)(x+3)}) \div (\frac{2x(x+4)}{(x+3)(x+4)} -\frac{x(x+3)}{(x+4)(x+3)} )$

Now that they all have a common denominator, we can combine them:

$(\frac{3(x+4)-4(x+3)}{(x+3)(x+4)})\div (\frac{2x(x+4)-x(x+3)}{(x+3)(x+4)} )$

Now, divide them. Recall how to divide fractions. You "flip" the second term and change the division sign into a multiplication sign.

$=(\frac{3(x+4)-4(x+3)}{(x+3)(x+4)})\cdot (\frac{(x+3)(x+4)}{2x(x+4)-x(x+3)} )$

Notice the denominator of the first term and the numerator of the second; we can cancel them out.

$=\frac{3(x+4)-4(x+3)}{2x(x+4)-x(x+3)}$

Now, we just need to simplify.

$=\frac{(3x+12)+(-4x-12)}{(2x^2+8x)+(-x^2-3x)} =\frac{-x}{x^2+5x} =\frac{-1}{x+5}=-\frac{1}{x+5}$

Can you please help me?!

Answer:

d) $x=5$

Go to station 10

Step-by-step explanation:

$-\left(1+7x\right)-6\left(-7-x\right)=36$

Expand:

$-1-7x+42+6x=36$

$-x+41=36$

Subtract 41 from both sides:

$-x+41-41=36-41$

$-x=-5$

Divide both sides by -1:

$\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{-5}{-1}$

$x=5$

What is 5,783 divided by 6 ?

diamong [38]

I would suggest to do future long division by learning the steps with an acronym. For me, I use DMSB, which stands for Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Bring Down. An example is attached below.
To solve this particular equation, you would get 963.33333... which would round to 963.3
I hope this helps!
