Answer: Choice C) -11
-----------------------------------
Explanation:
The first equation given is y = 3 - 1/2x
In other words, y is the same as 3 - 1/2x.
We can replace y in the second equation with 3 - 1/2x
This is known as substitution (think of a substitute teacher who is a temporary replacement for your teacher)
Doing this leads to...
3x+4y = 1
3x+4*y = 1
3x+4*( y ) = 1
3x+4*( 3 - 1/2x ) = 1 <<--- y has been replaced with 3-1/2x
3x+4*(3) +4*(-1/2x) = 1
3x+12-2x = 1
3x-2x+12 = 1
x+12 = 1
x+12-12 = 1-12 <<-- subtracting 12 from both sides
x = -11
Which is why the answer is choice C) -11
Answer:
x = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 - 3x = -4( 2x + 7 )
Distributive property
-4 * 2x - 4 * 7
-3 - 3x = -8x - 28
Add 3 on both sides
-3 + 3 - 3x = -8x - 28 + 3
-3x = -8x - 25
Add 8x on both sides
-3x + 8x = -8x + 8x - 25
5x = -25
Divide by 5 on both sides to isolate the variable
5x/5 = -25/5
x = -5

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x = -6
3 x -2 = -6
Your coordinates would be (-2,-6) if you are taking -2 as x and -6 as your y
