Lets write x the number unknown

Write as an equation.

3n+4=-8

Whenever you have two things that are equal and you do the same thing to each of them, they will still be the same. We can use this to our advantage here. Just use inverse operations to get x on its own.

Subtract 4 from each side.

3n+4-4=-8-4 \\ 3n=-12

Divide each side by 3.

\frac{3n}3=\frac{-12}3 \\\\ \boxed{n=-4}

What is the solution to this system of equations?
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

First choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

You could plug in the choices to see which would make all the 3 equations true.

Let's start with (x=2,y=-6,z=1):

2x+y-z=-3

2(2)+-6-1=-3

4-6-1=-3

-2-1=-3

-3=-3 is true so the first choice satisfies the first equation.

5x-2y+2z=24

5(2)-2(-6)+2(1)=24

10+12+2=24

24=24 is true so the first choice satisfies the second equation.

3x-z=5

3(2)-1=5

6-1=5

5=5 is true so the first choice satisfies the third equation.

We don't have to go any further since we found the solution.

---------Another way.

Multiply the first equation by 2 and add equation 1 and equation 2  together.

2(2x+y-z=-3)

4x+2y-2z=-6 is the first equation multiplied by 2.

5x-2y+2z=24

----------------------Add the equations together:

9x+0+0=18

9x=18

Divide both sides by 9:

x=18/9

x=2

Using the third equation along with x=2 we can find z.

3x-z=5 with x=2:

3(2)-z=5

6-z=5

Add z on both sides:

6=5+z

Subtract 5 on both sides:

1=z

Now using the first equation along with 2x+y-z=-3 with x=2 and z=1:

2(2)+y-1=-3

4+y-1=-3

3+y=-3

Subtract 3 on both sides:

y=-6

So the solution is (x=2,y=-6,z=1).

What expressions are equivalent to q+p+q+p+q
Kipish [7]
You can resolve all of them.
so the first one would be 3q+2p
that second 2p+3q
the third 2p+2q+q which equals 2p+3q

they all end up as the same thing so both are equivalent
