267.4... Make a proportion, which is what I did ---->
7 over 12 equals 156 over x. Cross multiply and divide. Find x, and there you go.
We are given this equation and I'm assuming you want us to solve for x

Use the distributive property on the left side of the equation

Subtract both sides by 6x

After trying to solve for x, we have this weird equation. Since -3 does NOT equal 5 and there is no other way for us to try and solve this, the equation has no solution.
Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

True, the zero at the end doesn't matter.
0.15=0.150
Answer: x=3 and y=5
Step-by-step explanation: 11x-6y=3, 5x-8y=-25
11x-6y+6y=3+6y
11x/11=3/11+6y/11
x=3+6y/11
5(3+6y/11)-8y(11)/11
5(6y+3)-88y/11
30y+15-88y/11
88y-30y
58y
11(15-58y)/11=11(-25)
15-58y-15=-275-15
-58y/-58=-290/-58
y=5
x=3+6(5)/11
3+30
33
33/11
x=3
x=3, y=5
