Answer:
I believe the answer is X=40
Step-by-step explanation:
cross multiply 5*16 = X * 2
Multiply 5*16
80= X*2
Add '-2x' to each side of the equation
80 + -2x = 2x + -2x
Combine like terms
80 + -2x = 0
Add '-80' to each side of the equation.
80 + -80 + -2x = 0 + -80
Combine like terms: 80 + -80 = 0
0 + -2x = 0 + -80
-2x = 0 + -80
Combine like terms: 0 + -80 = -80
-2x = -80
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 40
Simplifying
x = 40
Hope this helped :)
Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:


to use the elimination you have to make one of the numbers same
so

and you would have to change the sign so that both of the 3x could cancel out.
New system of equation




so we know the y value so now you could find the x value take one equation



you could try it with both of the equations






Answer:
X=6
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x-1)+3x=7(x+1)
5x-5+3x=7x+1
8x-5=7x+1
8x-7x=1+5
X=6
So the answer is X=6
I think it would be irrational but I might be wrong I’m not a expert well I am but I sorta don’t get it
