Y = -3x - 1......so we sub in -3x - 1 in for y in the other equation
2x + 5y = 12
2x + 5(-3x - 1) = 12....now distribute the 5 through the parenthesis
2x - 15x - 5 = 12...add 5 to both sides
2x - 15x = 12 + 5..combine like terms
-13x = 17...divide both sides by -13
x = -17/13
now sub in -17/13 for x in the other equation
y = -3x - 1
y = -3(-17/13) - 1
y = 51/13 - 1
y = 51/13 - 13/13
y = 38/13
so the solution is (-17/13, 38/13)
Answer:
v See below. v
Step-by-step explanation:
LM = MN
11x - 21 = 8x + 15

x = 12
LM = 11(12) - 21 = 132 - 21 = 111
MN = 8(12) + 15 = 96 + 15 = 111
LN = 111 + 111 = 222
Answer:
y=¾(4x-20)
y=3x-15
Final answer= y - 3(x+12)
=y - 3x-36
=3x-15-3x-36
= -51
