Answer:

x = -6/5

y =7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = - 1

x - 2y = - 4

Multiply the first equation by 2 so we can eliminate y

2(2x + y = - 1)

4x + 2y = -2

Add this to the second equation

4x + 2y = -2

x - 2y = - 4

---------------------

5x + 0y = -6

Divide by 5

5x/5 = -6/5

x = -6/5

Multiply the second equation by -2 so we can eliminate x

-2(x - 2y = - 4)

-2x+4y = 8

Add this to the first equation

2x + y = - 1

-2x+4y = 8

---------------------

0x + 5y = 7

Divide by 5

5y/5 = 7/5

y =7/5

What is -5x + 15 = 35 - 10x
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

   x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    -5*x+15-(35-10*x)=0

Pull out like factors :

             5x - 20  =   5 • (x - 4)

_________________________________________

Solve :    5   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

_________________________________________

Solve  :    x-4 = 0

Add  4  to both sides of the equation :

                     x = 4
