Multiply the first bracket by -4

Multiply the second bracket by 3

-4(2x - 5) = 3(x - 15)

-4(2x)-4(-5)= 3(x)+3(-15)

-8x+20= 3x-45

Move 3x to the other side. Sign changes from +3x to -3x.

-8x-3x+20= 3x-3x-45

-11x+20= -45

Move +20 to the other side. Sign changes from +20 to -20.

-11x+20-20= -45-20

-11x= -65

Divide by -11

-11/-11x= -65/-11

x= 65/11 or x= 5 10/11

Answer: x= 65/11 or x= 5 10/11

4 pencils and 3 crayons are 20.9 inches. 5 pencils and 4 crayons are 26.5 inches. Each pencil is the same length as the other pe
erastova [34]

Answer:

The length of the pencils is 4.1 inches and for the crayons 1.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:

let "x" be the length of the pencils

let "y" be the length of the crayons

4 * x + 3 * y = 20.9

5 * x + 4 * y = 26.5 => x = (26.5 - 4 * y) / 5

Replacing:

4 * (26.5 - 4 * y) / 5 + 3 * y = 20.9

21.2 - 3.2 * y + 3 * y = 20.9

-0.2 * y = 20.9 - 21.2

y = -0.3 / -0.2

y = 1.5

now for x:

x = (26.5 - 4 * 1.5) / 5

x = 4.1

This means that the length of the pencils is 4.1 inches and for the crayons 1.5 inches
