The answer is a, -8. first you have to set up the equation -3x=24 split it down the middle, then you have to get rid of the x on one side, so you have to do the opposite, right now it’s saying -3*x, opposite of multiplication is division. so you take -3/-3 and you’re left with x, then you have to do the same to the other side, 24/-3 and you get -8. so x=-8

7x+2y=57x+2y=5 how do you do it

timofeeve [1]

The value of $x=\frac{26}{3}, \ y=\frac{-11}{6}$ .

Solution:

Given equations:

7x + 2y = 57 ---------- (1)

x + 2y = 5 ---------- (2)

Subtract 2y from both sides of the equation (2).

x = 5 – 2y ---------- (3)

Substitute equation (3) in equation (1).

7(5 – 2y) + 2y = 57

35 – 14y + 2y = 57

35 – 12y = 57

Subtract 35 from both sides of the equation.

–12y = 22

Divide by 12 on both sides.

$$y=\frac{-11}{6}$

Substitute y value in equation (3).

$x=5-2(\frac{-11}{6} )$

$x=5+\frac{11}{3}$

$$x=\frac{26}{3}$

Hence the value of $x=\frac{26}{3}, \ y=\frac{-11}{6}$ .
