Answer:

x = -7

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

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

2.5x + 10 = x - 0.5

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

  1. Subtract <em>x </em>on both sides:                    1.5x + 10 = -0.5
  2. Subtract 10 on both sides:                  1.5x = -10.5
  3. Divide both sides by 1.5:                     x = -7

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute:                    2.5(-7) + 10 = -7 - 0.5
  2. Multiply:                        -17.5 + 10 = -7 - 0.5
  3. Add/Subtract:               -7.5 = -7.5

And we have our answer!

Answer:

(-4,-2)

x=-4

y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x-4y=20

3(x-10y=16)=3x-30y=48

The reason I multiplied 3 to the second equation is for when we add the equations together the x will cancel out.

  -3x-4y=20

+  <u>3x-30y=48</u>

  -34y=68

Divide -34 from both sides.

y=-2

To find x you need to plug in -2 for y into one of the equations.

x-10y=16

x-10(-2)=16

Remember a negative times a negative equals a positive.

x+20=16

Subtract 20 from both sides.

x=-4

Hope this helps!

If not, I am sorry.
