Answer:
3 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
_____ + 5 3/4 = 9 5/8
x + 5 3/4 = 9 5/8
Subtract 5 3/4 from each side
x + 5 3/4 - 5 3/4 = 9 5/8 - 5 3/4
x = 9 5/8 - 5 3/4
Get a common denominator of 8
5 3/4 *2/2 = 5 6/8
x = 9 5/8 - 5 6/8
We need to borrow 1 from the 9 in the form of 8/8
x= 8 + 8/8+ 5/8 - 5 6/8
x = 8 13/8 - 5 6/8
= 3 7/8
if you isolate y in the top equation to get y=5x+6 then you can substiture y for 5x+6 in the bottom equation because thats what y equals
as of now you have -3x+6(5x+6)=-12 but if you use the distrubite property you would get -3x+30x+36=-12
then if you subtract 36 from both sides you would get -3x+30x=-48 then combine like terms to get 27x=-48 then divide both sides by 27 to get
or x≈1.8
