Answer:

X=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

-2x+3+7x=-12

(-2x+7x)(3)=-12(combine like terms)

5x+3=-12

Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides.

5x+3-3=-12-3

5x=-15

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5.

5x/5=-15/3

X=-3

Hope this helps

On a car trip, Ben drove 65 miles more than half the number of miles Steve drove. Together they drove 500 miles. How many miles
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

210 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent it mathematically.

Ben drove 65 miles more than half the number of miles Steve drove, so we represent it by

B = 65 + ½S

It is also said that together, they drove 500 miles, we represent it with.

B + S = 500

Now, we solve simultaneously.

Let's eliminate the ½ in Ben's drive. So we multiply the equation by 2.

2B = 130 + S.

Rearranging, we have

S = 2B - 130.

We substitute this value of S, in the second equation. So we have.

B + (2B - 130) = 500, open the brackets

B + 2B - 130 = 500

3B - 130 = 500, collecting the like terms

3B = 500 + 130

3B = 630

B = 630/3

B = 210 miles.

Therefore, Ben drove 210 miles.

Answer:

(-4,-2)

x=-4

y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x-4y=20

3(x-10y=16)=3x-30y=48

The reason I multiplied 3 to the second equation is for when we add the equations together the x will cancel out.

  -3x-4y=20

+  <u>3x-30y=48</u>

  -34y=68

Divide -34 from both sides.

y=-2

To find x you need to plug in -2 for y into one of the equations.

x-10y=16

x-10(-2)=16

Remember a negative times a negative equals a positive.

x+20=16

Subtract 20 from both sides.

x=-4

Hope this helps!

If not, I am sorry.
