Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5x+4x−68=34−8x

5x+4x+ −68=34+ −8x

(5x+4x)+(−68)=−8x+34(Combine like terms)

9x+−68=−8x+34

9x−68=−8x+34

Step 2: Add 8x to both sides.

9x −68+ 8x= −8x +34 +8x

17x −68 =34

Step 3: Add 68 to both sides.

17x −68 +68= 34 +68

17x=102

Step 4: Divide both sides by 17.

17x /17=  102/17

                                X=6   > final answer hope i could help :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's step through this line by line, looking for a spot where the friend could have made a mistake.

5x+4x-68=34-8x\\5x+4x=102-8x\\5x+4x+8x=102\\17x=102\\x=6

So, where could the friend have made their mistake? The key here is the transition from step 1 to step 2. What if we had subtracted 68 instead of adding it?

5x+4x-68=34-8x\\5x+4x=-34-8x\\5x+4x+8x=-34\\17x=-34\\x=-2

There it is. The friend's problem was that they had accidentally <em>subtracted</em> 68 to both sides when they should have <em>added</em> it.

PLEASE HELP 20 POINTS<br> solve the system of equations y=-5x-7 and -4x-3y=-1 by substitution.
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Solution: x = -2; y = 3 or (-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation 1:</u>  y = -5x - 7  

<u>Equation 2:</u> -4x - 3y = -1

Substitute the value of y in Equation 1 into the Equation 2:

-4x - 3(-5x - 7)  = -1

-4x +15x + 21 = -1

Combine like terms:

11x + 21 =  - 1

Subtract 21 from both sides:

11x + 21 - 21 =  - 1 - 21

11x = -22

Divide both sides by 11 to solve for x:

11x/11 = -22/11

x = -2

Now that we have the value for x, substitute x = 2 into Equation 2 to solve for y:

-4x - 3y = -1

-4(-2) - 3y = -1

8 - 3y = -1

Subtract 8 from both sides:

8 - 8 - 3y = -1 - 8

-3y = -9

Divide both sides by -3 to solve for y:

-3y/-3 = -9/-3

y = 3

Therefore, the solution to the given systems of linear equations is:

x = -2; y = 3 or (-2, 3)
