Number one would be 13 because you have to add the x to both sides which will leave you with 2x=26 then you have to divide by 2 and you will get x=13. Number two is 7 7/8 because you have to add the 1/3x to the other 1/3x to get 2/3x= 5 1/4 so then you divide both sides by 2/3 and to divide a fraction you do keep change flip so it would be 21/4 times 3/2 which would be 63/8 which simplifys to 7 7/8.
10 1/2-4 1/4= 6 1/4. 6 1/4-3 2/3= 2 7/12. They used 2 7/12 ft or 2ft 7in of wood to fix the stairs.
Answer:
-73
Step-by-step explanation:
substitue the -8 in for x. then multiply -8 by 7 you get -56. then subtract 17.
So in this case, we have to replace the known value.
y=3
y=-2x+3
3=-2x+3
Then we leave our unknown value alone.

= x
In this case, our x value would be 0.
We check it...
3=-2(0)+3
3=0+3
3=3
So y=3 x=0
For the second one we have...
y=3x+2
y=-3x-4
For this we substitute the y in any of the equation...
3x+2=-3x-4
We move the unknown values to one side and the ones without unlown values to the other side...
3x+3x=-4-2
Then we solve
6x=-6
Then we leave the unknown value alone.
x=

Then solve for x.
x= -1
Then for our y value we return to one of the original equations and substitute the x value.
y=3x+2
y=3(-1)+2
y=-3+2
y=-1
y=-3x-4
y=-3(-1)-4
y=3-4
y=-1
So in this case we got that x= -1 and y= -1
