The correct answer is solve for y in the second equation.
Step 1: Multiply each equation by a suitable number so that the two equations have the same leading coefficient. ...
Step 2: Subtract the second equation from the first.
Step 3: Solve this new equation for y.
Step 4: Substitute y = 2 into either Equation 1 or Equation 2 above and solve for x.
Answer:
-x + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 7) - (2x-3)
x + 7 - 2x - 3
x - 2x
-x + 7 + 3
-x + 10
(5/8) × 48 = (8/15) × n
Multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of n. That inverse is 15/8.
n = (15/8)×(5/8)×48 = (75/64)×48 = 225/4 = 56 1/4
5/8 of 48 is equal to 8/15 of 56 1/4
