Answer:
x = -15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we will simply use equation properties to solve for x.
2x - 5 = -20
2x - 5 + 5 = -20 + 5
2x = -15 ( Add positive 5 to both sides )
2x * (1/2) = -15 * (1/2)
x = -15/2 ( Multiply both sides by 1/2)
Hence, the solution to x is -15 / 2.

Answer:
x = -2 y = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
13x - 6y = 22
x - y = 6
6(x-y) = 6*6
6x - 6y = 36
subtract both the equations
13x - 6x -6y + 6y = -14
7x = -14
x = -2
13*-2 -6y=22
-26 -6y=22
-6y = 48
y = -8
answer: x = -2 y = -8
Well, what's the diffrence from 5/4 to 3/8?
so, if we take 5/4 to be the 100%, what is 7/8 off of it in percentage anyway?
To answer this question, you should set up and equation before doing anything else. So for this question you 're going to set up two equations.
The first equation is 2x+5y=33
The second equation is 8x+3y=30
Once you do that you have to solve for either X or Y by canceling out the other one. In this problem figuring out the Y is easier because you can cancel the X's more easily than the Y. To cancel a variable, they have to add up to 0.
So to cancel the X you multiply the equation 2x+5y=33 by -4.
That gives you -8x-20y= -132
Then you set up the two equations and add them together.
(-8x-20y= -132) + (8x+3y=30)
That gives you -17y = -102
So then you solve for Y by dividing by -17. You find out that Y is equal to 6. Then you plug the 6 back into the ORIGINAL equations and solve for X, which turns out to be 1.5
Hope this helped and if you get confused or have questions please ask :)

Answer:</h3>
infinite solutions
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
Add the two equations.
... (-4x) + (y) = (y +3) +(-4x -3)
Add 4x -y to both sides.
... -4x +y +4x -y = -4x +y +4x -y
... 0 = 0 . . . . . true for all values of x (or y)
Both equations describe the same line.

The graph shows the first equation as a red line. The second equation is shown using a "blue dot" texture, so you can see it overlays the red line.
