12 black and white, 18 color in one row
6 black and white, 9 color in two rows
4 black and white, 6 color in three rows
2 black and white, 3 color in six rows
1. (5+23)+65 = (5+65)+23 = 70+23 = 93 (D)
2. -(4x-7) = -4X+7 (C)
3. 2(6X+9) = 12X+18 (B)
4. 5(X-3) = 35
X-3 = 35/5
X-3 = 7
SO X= 7+3 = 10
THEN NO
9 IS NOT A SOLUTION
Use substitution
-x + 4 = 1/3x + 8
4 = 4/3x + 8
-4 = 4/3x
x = -4 * 3/4
x = -3
Then plug x into one of the original equations. In this case y = -x + 4 is the easiest.
y = -(-3) + 4
y = 7
