In order to find this answer we have to manipulate the equation algebraically so that we end up with a statement that x = something. We can manipulate the problem however we need to as long as we do the same thing to both sides of the equation (this keeps the equation true).

-8x/5 + 1/6 = -5x/3

first lets get the x's on one side of the equals sign by adding 8x/5 to each side.

1/6 = -5x/3 + 8x/5

Ok, now let's add the x's together (we need common denominators)

1/6 = -25x/15 + 24x/15
1/6 = -x/15

Now lets get x by itself by multiplying each side by 15

1/6 * 15 = -x
15/6 = -x
3/2 = -x

Multiply each side by -1 to make the x positive.

-3/2 = x

You are one mile from the railroad station, and your train is due to leave in ten minutes. You have been walking at a steady rat
dybincka [34]

Answer:

x=1.818minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

3/60 miles per minute for walk

8/60 miles per minute for run

0.05x + 0.1333y=1

x+y=10

x=y-10

0.05(y-10) + 0.133333y = 1

0.05y-0.5+0.133333y=1

0.18333y=1.5

y=8.18minutes

x=10-8.18

x=1.818minutes

Can you help me solve for y ?? Please show your work !! Thank you.
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

y = -3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x - y - 2 = 4x + 2

x - y - 2 + y = 4x + 2 + y

x - 2 = 4x + 2 + y

x - 2 - 4x - 2 = 4x + 2 + y - 4x - 2

-3x - 4 = y

so y = -3x - 4
