In order to complete this, we must write it as a ratio. This would look like: 2.4:5.25=x:1063. In order to solve for x, we must first divide 5.25 by 2.4, which I will mark as y, then we take y and divide it into 1063, giving us the answer of 485.94, rounded will give you 486. x now equals 486.

Answer:
x = -5 y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x + 2y = 9
multiply the 2nd equation by 3 to set it up for elimination
3(x - 3y)= 3(4)
3x-9y = 12
so now combine both to add
-3x + 2y = 9
3x - 9y = 12
Adding both gives you
-7y = 21
divide both by -7 and you get
y = -3
and you substitute y back into equation to get x
x - 3 (-3) = 4 gives you
x + 9 = 4
x = 4 - 9
x = -5
