Answer:

the solution is (-4, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 8y = -8

x + 4y = 4

... can be solved using elimination by addition and subtraction, among other methods. Multiply the second equation by -2 to obtain

6x + 8y = -8

-2x - 8y = -8

Combining these results in

4x = -16. Thus, x = -4.

Substituting -4 for x in x + 4y = 4 results in

-4 + 4y = 4, or 4y = 8, or y = 2

Then the solution is (-4, 2)

How to solve -4{1-2x}-1=7x

mina [271]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$-4(1-2x)-1=7x\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(-4)(1)+(-4)(-2x)-1=7x\\\\-4+8x-1=7x\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\8x+(-4-1)=7x\\\\8x-5=7x\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\8x-5+5=7x+5\\\\8x=7x+5\qquad\text{subtract}\ 7x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\8x-7x=7x-7x+5\\\\x=5$
