Answer:
(9,126)
Step-by-step explanation:
Make sure x and y are on the same side
Eliminate y by multiplying the first equation by 4 then adding both equations together
Plug the x value (9) into one of the equations
Solve
x=9, y=126
(9,126)
<h2>Solving Equations</h2>
To solve linear equations, we must perform inverse operations on both sides of the equal sign to <em>cancel values out</em>.
- If something is being added to x, subtract it from both sides.
- If something is being subtracted from x, add it on both sides.
- Same with multiplication and division. If x is being divided, multiply. If x is being multiplied, divide.
We perform inverse operations to<em> combine like terms</em>. This means to get x to one side and everything else on the other.
<h2>Solving the Questions</h2><h3>Question 1</h3>Because 7 is being added to x, subtract it from both sides:
Because x is being multiplied by 5, divide both sides by 5:
Therefore. .
Here, we can group all the x values on the left side of the equation. Subtract 5x from both sides:
To isolate x, subtract 4 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
Therefore, .
