Answer:
x=8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Write an equation
2x+5=22
x represents he unknown number
Solve for x:
2x+5-5=22-5
2x=17
2x/2=17/2
x=8.5
x - y = - 11 .............( 1 )
y + 7 = - 2x ...............( 2 )
from equation ( 1 )
x - y = - 11
x = -11 + y ...........( 3)
putting x in equation ( 2 )
y + 7 = - 2 x
y + 7 = -2 ( -11 + y ) y + 7 = 22 - 2 y y + 2 y =22 - 7
3 y = 15 y = 15 / 3
putting value of y in equation 3
x = -11+ ( 13 /5 ) x = -33 /3 + 15 / 3 ( l.c.m)
x = -17 / 5
check
x = -11 + y
- 17 / 5 = -11 + 13 / 5
-17 /5 = -17 / 5
