Answer:

x = - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 5(x - 2) - (x + 2) = 50 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

- 5x + 10 - x - 2 = 50, that is

- 6x + 8 = 50 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

- 6x = 42 ( divide both sides by - 6 )

x = - 7

Answer:

(-5x - 10) - 2x = 50

-7x - 10 = 50

+10 +10

-7x = 60

-7x/7 = 60/7

x=8.57142857143 or 60/7

Step-by-step explanation:

You first distribute the -5 to X and 2 then add x and 2. Then add 10 on both sides. Next divided each side by POSITIVE 7 and decimal or fraction is ur final answer

-3x+4y=7 y=3x-5 I NEED HELP PL Z HELP ME

andrew-mc [135]

$- 3x + 4y = 7 \\ y = 3x - 5$

[Substitute the given value of y into the first equation]

$- 3x + 4 \times (3x - 5) = 7$

[Distribute 4 through the parentheses]

$- 3x + 12x - 20 = 7$

[Collect like terms]

$9x - 20 = 7$

[Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign]

$9x = 7 + 20$

[Add the numbers]

$9x = 27$

[Divide both sides of the equation by 9]

$x = 3$

[Substitute the given value of x into the second equation]

$y = 3 \times 3 - 5$

[Multiply the numbers]

$y = 9 - 5$

[Subtract the numbers]

$y = 4$

[The possible solution of the system is the ordered pair (x,y)]

$(x,y)=(3,4)$

54 pieces. Here is why:
1 yard = 3 feet
18 yards * (3 feet)/yard = 18*3 feet = 54 feet
Note that the yard units cancel out, leaving the answer in feet.
