Answer:

x=4, y=-4/3. (4, -4/3).

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+9y=20

x=-3y

---------------

8(-3y)+9y=20

-24y+9y=20

-15y=20

y=20/-15

simplify

y=-4/3

x=-3(-4/3)=12/3=4

Answer:

Y=4/-3 X=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We must use substitution. If x is -3y, then we can either substitute all the x’s or y’s. I’ll substitute y.

8x+9y=20

8x+-3x=20

5x=20

x=4

x=-3y, so -3y=4. Y=4/-3

Solving linear equations

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

(x, y ) = ( $\frac{1}{2}$ , $\frac{5}{2}$ )

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

4x + 2y = 7 → (1)

y = 5x → (2)

Substitute y = 5x into equation (1)

4x + 2(5x) = 7

4x + 10x = 7

14x = 7 ( divide both sides by 14 )

x = $\frac{7}{14}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$

substitute this value into equation (2)

y = 5 × $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{5}{2}$

Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation. 3x-5(x-4)=-9+5x+15

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

I keep getting no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(x−4)=−9+5x+15

(5)(x)+(5)(−4)=−9+5x+15(Distribute)

5x+−20=−9+5x+15

5x−20=(5x)+(−9+15)(Combine Like Terms)

5x−20=5x+6

Step 2: Subtract 5x from both sides.

5x−20−5x=5x+6−5x

−20=6

Step 3: Add 20 to both sides.

−20+20=6+20

0=26
