Answer:
x = -52
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3x-2/3=-18
Multiply each side by 3 to clear the fractions
3(1/3x-2/3)=-18*3
x - 2 = -54
Add 2 to each side
x-2+2 = -54+2
x = -52
Answer:
2/9 and 7/4(or 1 3/4)
Step-by-step explanation:
A reciprocal is just the original number flipped.
Answer: y = -5
Substitute in 3 for x.
x - y = 8 Substitution
3 - y = 8 Subtract 3 from both sides
-y = 5 Divide by -1 to both sides
y = -5 Answer!
You can also check your work.
x - y = 8
3 - (-5) = 8
3 + 5 = 8
8 = 8
