Answer:
<em>n</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-5</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Just</em><em> </em><em>divide</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em> </em><em>with</em><em> </em><em>-0</em><em>.</em><em>8</em>
<em>:</em><em>)</em><em> </em>
So the equations are:
y= 3x + 3
y= x- 1
By the transitive property, we know x-1= 3x+3 (Transitive property means if a= b, and b= c, shouldn't a = c if they both equal b?)
so, x- 1= 3x + 3. Now we isolate x and solve:
+1 +1
x= 3x+ 4
-x -x
0 = 2x+ 4
-4 -4
-4 = 2x
/2 /2
x= -2
Now, you can plug that back in to find y:
y = x- 1
y= -2 -1
y= -3
Then plug them both in to make sure it is correct. :o)
Answer:
To make x the subject of the equation means to solve the equation for x (get x by itself on one side). We do the order of operations in reverse, because we are using inverse operations. First, add the 2 to both sides (to keep the equation “balanced” we must do the same thing to both sides). y+2=3x. Then divide both sides of the equation by 3 (or multiply both sides by 1/3.
