This is a system of equation:
7y - 5x = 31
x = 4 - 2y
Plug in 4 - 2y for x
7y - 5(4 - 2y) = 31
Distribute -5 to both 4 and -2y
7y - 20 + 10y = 31
Simplify
17y - 20 = 31
Isolate the y. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
Add 20 to both sides
17y - 20 (+20) = 31 (+20)
17y = 51
Divide 17 from both sides to isolate the y
17y/17 = 51/17
y = 51/17 or 3
y = 3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plug in 3 for y in one of the equations.
x=4−2y
x = 4 - 2(3)
Simplify.
x = 4 - 6
x = -2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x = -2, y = 3 is your answer, or B)

hope this helps
The correct answer is D because -30 is far away from 0
Answer: x = 13/3 or x = 4.33333....
Solution: ⅜x -1 +1 = ⅝ + 1
Simplify: ⅜x = 13/8
Multiply both sides by eight: 8 x ⅜x = 133 x 8 divided by 8
Simplify: 3x = 13
Divide both sides by three: 3x/3 = 13/3
Simplify: x = 13/3
Answer:
4/5 ÷3/5
4/5×5/3(any time one is dividing a fraction, the dominator would go up while the numerator would come down).
=4/3
Answer:
-2x
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) you pick two points I am going to use (2,0) and (4,-4)
2.) use the slope formula y2-y1/x2-x1
3.) substitute the points into the equation -4-0/4-2
4.) solve the equation (-4-0= -4) / (4-2= 2)
5.) the slope is -4/2 or -2
