Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

55 = 5 · 11

35 = 5 · 7

GCF(55, 35) = 5

The distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac

Therefore

55 + 35 = 5 · 11 + 5 · 7 = 5 · (11 + 7)

Examine this system of linear equations. y – 3x=-2, y = 4

Verdich [7]

Answer:

2, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so for this you have to substitute. y=4 so you put a 4 where the y is. This becomes

4 - 3x = -2 We can already rule out (2,2) and (4,2) Why? Because the y is not a 4. So it’s gonna be either (0,4) or (2,4). Now, we have to find x. We have to isolate it. You do this by subtracting 4 from both sides.

4 - 4 - 3x = -2 - 4 Now Simplify

-3x = -6 Why -6? Because you can’t subtract a positive from a negative so it becomes -2 + -4. Since they are both negatives, you just add them together, then put the negative sign.

Now divide -3 from both sides. Which becomes

x = 2
