Mathematics
1 answer:
MA_775_DIABLO [31]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = -50/9    

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

3x - 8 - 12x = 42

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Combine like terms:                    -9x - 8 = 42
  2. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                              -9x = 50
  3. Isolate <em>x</em>:                                        x = -50/9

Tell which equation you would use to isolate a variable in order to solve the system using substitution. Explain your reasoning.

2x+y=-10
Multiply both side by 3
2x*3+y*3=-10*3
6x+3y=-30

3x-y=0
Multiply both side by 2
3x*2-y*2=0*2
6x-2y=0
Next, use substitute property
6x+3y=-30
    -
6x-2y=0
    =
y=-30
3x-y=0
Substitute y with -30
3x-30=0
Add 30 to each side
3x-30+30=0+30
3x=30
Divided both side by 3
3x/3=30/3
x=10, so the solution pair is (10,-30). In this case, there is the first way to solve these two equation.
Then, I would use equation 3x+1.5y=-15 in this question by multiply 2x+y=-10 by multiplying both side by 3/2 to eliminate x and to solve variables for y. Hope it help!
