-2z - xy = z + 7
You are solving for x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the x.
First, add 2z to both sides
-2z (+2z) - xy = z + 7 (+2z)
Simplify. Combine like terms
-xy = z + 2z + 7
-xy = 3z + 7
Completely isolate the x. Divide -y from both sides
(-xy)/-y = (3z + 7)/-y
x = (3z + 7)/-y
Simplify
z = (3z + 7)/(-y) is your answer
hope this helps
Y = 5x + c , ( -2 , -3 )
- 3 = 5 ( - 2 ) + c
c = 7
y = 5x + 7

Answer:
Let's solve your system of equations by elimination.
8x+9y=48;12x+5y=21
Steps:
Multiply the first equation by 5,and multiply the second equation by -9.
5(8x+9y=48)
−9(12x+5y=21)
Becomes:
40x+45y=240
−108x−45y=−189
Add these equations to eliminate y:
−68x=51
Then solve−68x=51for x:
−68x
/−68
=
51
/−68 (Divide both sides by -68)
x= −3
/4
Now that we've found x let's plug it back in to solve for y.
Write down an original equation:
8x+9y=48
Substitute
−3
/4
8x+9y=48:
8(
−3
/4
)+9y=48
9y−6=48 (Simplify both sides of the equation)
9y−6+6=48+6 (Add 6 to both sides)
9y=54
9y
/9 = 54
/9 (Divide both sides by 9) y=6
<em><u>Answer: x= −3
/4 and y=6</u></em>
Hope This Helps! Have A Nice Day!!
I don't know if you've learnt this, but there's something called the KFC rule (you use it when dividing fractions), so k basically stands for keep (so you keep the first fraction), f stands for flip (so you flip the second fraction) and c stand for change (you change the division sign to a multiplication sign)
So you get
5/20*11/5
55/100
which is 11/20
so, an answer of 11/20 would make Quintin correct
