-1/2x - 8 = 1

Add 8 to both sides:

-1/2x = 9

What is the solution to the following system of equations? 3x-4y=35 and 3x+4y=5

natta225 [31]

3x - 4y = 35
3x + 4y = 5
------------------add
6x = 40
x = 40/6 which reduces to 20/3

3x - 4y = 35
3(20/3) - 4y = 35
20 - 4y = 35
-4y = 35 - 20
-4y = 15
y = -15/4

solution is (20/3, -15/4)
