Answer: x = 17/9
Step-by-step explanation: Lets solve for x.
9x - 5 = 12
9x - 5 + 5 = 12 + 5
9x = 17
9x/9 = 17/9
x = 17/9
3x + 4y = 31
2x - 4y = -6
*The +4 and -4 in the center of the equation cancel out because 4-4 = 0*
3x = 31
2x = -6
------------
*add like terms*
3x + 2x = 5x
31 - 6 = 25
So now you should have this written on your paper ... > 5x = 25
*Divide by 5 on each side*
5x = 25

x = 5
