Answer:
x = 21/2
y = -19/2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 17 = 4y + 7x
5x - 7x - 4y = 17
-2x - 4y = 17
6x + 8y = - 13
-2x - 4y = 17 | ×2 |
6x + 8y = - 13 | ×1 |
-4x - 8y = 34
6x + 8y = - 13
___________+
2x = 21
x = 21/2
-2x - 4y = 17
-2(21/2) - 4y = 17
-21 - 4y = 17
-4y = 17 + 21
-4y = 38
y = -38/4
y = -19/2
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we just have to the multiplication and do the simplification (adding up the similar terms) afterwards:
3(x+1)=7(x-2)-3 becomes...
3x + 3 = 7x - 14 - 3
3x + 3 = 7x -17
Then we move all x's on one side and all plain numbers on the other side, we'll move the x's to the right since there's a bigger value there, and will move the plain numbers on the left side, by subtracting 3x and by adding 17 on both sides
3x + 3 - 3x + 17 = 7x -17 + 17 - 3x
20 = 4x
If we isolate x alone we have:
20/4 = x or x = 5
1 pt; or 1 pint seems most reasonable here.
