X=y+3
(2/y)-(1/x)=2/9
Use systems of equations, plug x-3 for y
(2/x-3)-(1/x)=2/9
y= 6, -9/2
Therefore, x = 9, -3/2
But it's positive, so the integers are 6 and 9

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

A. x > -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Well by looking at the graph we can tell that,

the line we can tell that the line goes to the right of of the number line,

Meaning x is greater than -3.

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>x > -3.</em>

Choose the answer based on the most efficient method as presented in the lesson.
Grace [21]

Remember that to solve an equation we need to isolate the variable in one side. To do it we can perform any mathematical operations we want as long as we perform the operations to both sides of the equation.

Let's solve our equation step by step

Step 1. Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation

2x-8=5x+3

2x-2x-8=5x-2x+3

-8=3x+3

Step 2. Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

-8-3=3x+3-3

-11=3x

Step 3. Divide both sides of the equation by 3

-11=3x

\frac{-11}{3} =\frac{3x}{3}

-\frac{11}{3} =x

x=-\frac{11}{3}

We can conclude that the next step is: subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

Find three consecutive even integers. Such that 7 times of first integer is 4 more than the sum of second and third integers
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

1st even integer = 2

2nd even integer = 4

3rd even integer  = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consecutive even integers be:

1st = 2(x)

2nd= 2(x +1) = 2x + 2

3rd = 2(x + 2) = 2x + 4

According to Given conditions:

7(2x) = 4 +  2x +2 + 2x + 4

By Simplifying:

14x = 10 + 4x

Subtracting 4x from both sides

14x - 4x = 10 + 4x -4x

10x = 10

Dividing both sides by 10 we get:

x = 1

Now putting value of x in supposed integers:

1st even integer = 2(1) = 2

2nd even integer = 2(1)+2 = 4

3rd even integer = 2(1) + 4 = 6

I hope it will help you!
