What have you done so far? Why not start by eliminating the variable x? Do you know how to do that? Hint: use multiplication / division of rows and then addition / subtraction.
Answer:
X=-3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(x+2)=-1
Distribute
-2*x and -2*2
-2x-4=-1
Solve for x
-2x-4=-1
+4 +4
-2x=3
/-2 /-2
x=-3/2
Answer:
a 30 b -21
Step-by-step explanation:
a 5x = 5(6)
= 30
b 3y = 3(-7)
= -21
Yes because if you take 4:3 it equals out to be 2:1.5
Haha, you first start off with adding 3 to both sides, cancelling the -3, and adding it to 9. you end up with 5x=12, in which you divide both sides by 5. you get 2 and 2/5 or 12/5! hope that helps :)
