Answer:

 C)

  • 2y-x=-10
  • 3y-x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

Set each side of the equation equal to y, then rearrange to standard form.

  (1/2)x -5 = y . . . left side of the equal sign

  x -10 = 2y . . . . multiply by 2

  -10 = 2y -x . . . . subtract x

__

  (1/3)x +6 = y . . . right side of the equal sign

  x +18 = 3y . . . . . multiply by 3

  18 = 3y -x . . . . . subtract x

The corresponding system of equations is ...

  • 2y -x = -10
  • 3y -x = 18

-26 times a number minus 22 is equal to 90 less than the number.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

x = \frac{68}{27}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

  1. Write it out: -26x - 22 = x - 90
  2. Combine like terms: -27x + 68 = 0
  3. Subtract 68 from each side, so it now looks like this: -27x = -68
  4. Divide each side by -27 to cancel out the -27 next to x. It should now look like this: x = \frac{68}{27}  

I hope this helps!

In a equation below, for what value of c does x=4? 1/2(2x+4)=3x-c
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

c = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 (2(4) + 4) = 3(4) - c

1/2 (8 + 4) = 12 - c

1/2 (12) = 12 - c

6 = 12 - c

-6 = -c

c = 6
