Substitute x and y with the value from table. The correct answer is A. 7=-3(-1)+4.
Start the equation by putting the equations equal to each other 3x+14=7x-10
Next +10 on both sides
3x+14=7x-10
+10 +10
You are left with 3x+24=7x
because the 10's canceled each other out.
Next -3x on both sides
3x+24=7x
-3x +3x
You are left with 24= 10x
because like before the 3's canceled each other out
Now you will divide both sides by 10
24=10x
---- -----
10 10
2.4= X is the answer!
To solve 7-2a-5-14=-2+3a :
1) combine like terms: 7-19 - 2a = -2 + 3a, and then -10 = 5a
2) solve this equation for a: a = -10/5 = -2.
The solution of 7-2a-5-14=-2+3a is a = -2.
