Answer:

2x + 3y = 13

4x - y = -2

In the second equation, subtract 4x from both sides.

-y = -2 - 4x

Divide both sides by -1.

y = 2 + 4x

Put this into the first equation in place of y.

2x + 3(2 + 4x) = 13

Multiply everything in the parenthesis by 3.

2x + 6 + 12x = 13

Combine like terms.

14x + 6 = 13

Subtract 6 from both sides.

14x = 7

Divide 14 on both sides.

x = 7 / 14

x = 0.5

Put this into the second equation in place of x.

4(0.5) - y = -2

2 - y = -2

Subtract 2 from both sides.

-y = -4

Divide both sides by -1.

y = 4

So x = 0.5 and y = 4.

If gasoline costs 2.14 per gallon and you drive 500 miles in a car that gets 30 mpg, what is the cost of gasoline

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Which value is a solution of the equation 2 - 8x = -6?<br> A. 1<br> B. 1/2<br> C. -1<br> D. 8

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

A.) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First change the equation to 2 + ( - 8x ) = -6 so it’s easier to read

Take away 2 from both sides

So now you have -8x = -8

Divide both sides by -8 so you get positive x and 1

x = 1
