4=2.25x add 2x on both sides
1.78=x subtract 2.25 on both sides
Answer:
the simplified answer is y= 63/8
Use substitution
-x + 4 = 1/3x + 8
4 = 4/3x + 8
-4 = 4/3x
x = -4 * 3/4
x = -3
Then plug x into one of the original equations. In this case y = -x + 4 is the easiest.
y = -(-3) + 4
y = 7
either
-(3x+3)-2x (less than) -4(x-2)-2
-3x+3-2x (less than) -4x +8-2
-5x+3 (less than)-4x+6
Or if you need it simplified
-5x +3 (less than) -4x+6
+4x 4x
-x+3 (less than) 6
-3 -3
-x(less than) 3
(-x/-1) Less than (3/-1)
x (less than) -3
(didnt have the less than greater than sign so typed it)
