It's a lot like solving equations.
3b-7 < 32
Add 7 to each side.
3b < 39
Divide by 3 on each side.
b < 13
Hope this helps :)
Remember: We have to work from either the LHS or the RHS.
(Left hand side or the Right hand side)
You should already know this:

You should also know this:

So plugging in both of those into our identity, we get:

Simplify the denominator on the LHS (Left Hand Side)
We get:

LHS = RHS
Therefore, identity is verified.
Answer:
4(2x+5) or 8x+20
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2x + 3y = 13
4x - y = -2
In the second equation, subtract 4x from both sides.
-y = -2 - 4x
Divide both sides by -1.
y = 2 + 4x
Put this into the first equation in place of y.
2x + 3(2 + 4x) = 13
Multiply everything in the parenthesis by 3.
2x + 6 + 12x = 13
Combine like terms.
14x + 6 = 13
Subtract 6 from both sides.
14x = 7
Divide 14 on both sides.
x = 7 / 14
x = 0.5
Put this into the second equation in place of x.
4(0.5) - y = -2
2 - y = -2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
-y = -4
Divide both sides by -1.
y = 4
So x = 0.5 and y = 4.
