First solve for x in the second equation (x=-6y+18).then substitute -6y+18 in the first equation and solve for y.after solving for y then substitute it in one of the equation and then solve for x.
2x-3y=-25
x+6y=18

x=-6y+18
2(-6y+18)-3y=-24
-12y+36-3y=-24
-15y+36=-24
-15y=-24-36
-15y=-60
y=4

x+6(4)=18
x+24=18
x=18-24
x=-6

y=4,x=-6

2x - 3y = -24
x+ 6y = 18

you solve the first one by the x:

2x = -24 + 3y

x = (-24+3y)/2

then you substitute what you found in the other equation and you solve by y

(-24+3y)/2 + 6y = 18                   multiply everything by 2

-24 + 3y + 12y = 36

3y + 12y = 36 + 24

15y = 60

y = 60/15

y = 4

Good job! You found your y! :D

Now let's substitute the y in the first equation with 4:

2x - 3(4) = -24

2x - 12 = -24

2x = -24 + 12

2x = -12

x = -12/2

x= -6

Done!! ;) <span />

44/12 in simplest form
NeTakaya
The fraction 44/12 is equivalent1 to 3 2/3.
This fraction is a IMPROPER FRACTION once the absolute value of the top number or numerator (44) is greater than the absolute value of the bottom number or denomintor (12). So, the equivalent fraction is a MIXED NUMBER which is made up of a whole number (3) and proper fraction (2/3).
The fraction 44/12 is equal to 44÷12 and can also be expressed in decimal form as 3.666667.

monitta
The operation applied is division.

a simple explanation is that the quantity decreases if you move the decimal to the left, which is the case for division

A power of 10^-4 is involved (you get a negative sign if you shift the decimal to the left: which is another explanation to the above question)

Which of the following equations have exactly one solution?
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

A, B, & C

Step-by-step explanation:

A: -5x +12 = -12x - 12

    +12x        +12x

    7x + 12 = -12

         -12     -12

            7x = -24                 [Divide both sides by 7 to get x]

              x = -24/7

B: −5x + 12 = 5x + 12

   -5x            -5x

    -10x + 12 = 12

            -12     -12

            -10x = 0                   [Divide both sides by -10 to get x]

                 x = 0

C: −5x + 12 = 5x − 5

    -5x           -5x

    -10x + 12 = -5

            -12      -12

           -10x = -17                  [Divide both sides by -10 to get x]

               x = 17 / 10

D: −5x + 12 = −5x − 12

    +5x           +5x

              12 ≠ -12         [The statement is false, so it isn't the correct answer]
