5= (6+4)x
5= 10x
5= 10x then divide by 10 to get the variable by itself
__ ___
10 10
.5 = x you can use .5 or 1/2
hope this helps!

Hello!
To solve this problem, we will use a system of equations. We will have one number be x and the other y. We will use substitutions to solve for each variable.
x+y=9
x=2y-9
To solve for the two numbers, we need to solve the top equation. The second equation shows that x=2y-9. In the first equation, we can replace 2y-9 for x and solve.
2y-9+y=9
3y-9=9
3y=18
y=6
We now know the value of y. Now we need to find x. We can plug in 6 for y in the second equation to find x.
x=2·6-9
x=12-9
x=3
Just to check, we will plug these two numbers into the first equation.
3+6=9
9=9
Our two numbers are three and six.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
24 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Use proportions! The old tent has sides of 10ft, and a base of 15ft. The new tent has sides of 16ft and a base of ____ ft.
So, 10/15 = 16/___. Cross multiple and you get 24ft!
Answer:
AB = CD
BC = DA
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 3x+2 = 5x-2, solving for x yields 2. Since BC = 4x+1 = DA, BC and DA both equal 4(2)+1 = 9.
Our goal is to get y by itself
We will first add 3x to both sides to get
-5y = 3x - 15
We will then divide both sides by -5 to get y by itself which becomes
y = -3/5x + 3
