You put .875 over the number 1 to make it a fraction so
Answer- <em>X=12</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
X + 9/7 = 3 is our equation
Then we are going to do the opposite of dividing 7 from 9 which is multiplying 7 from 9. (on both sides)
It will leave us with - X + 9 = 21
Then we will do the opposite of adding 9 to X which is subtracting 9 from X. (also on both sides) ( whenever you do any adding or subtracting or multiplying or dividing on one side you have to do it on the other for the equation to be true)
Now it will leave us with X = 12
And that's our answer! :>

Answer:
(-4,9)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the system of equations, you want to be able to cancel out one of the variables. In this case, it'd be easiest to cancel out the x variables. To do this, you'll want to multiply everything in the first equation by 2 (2(x-5y=-49)=2x-10y=-98). Then, you can add the two equations together. 2x and -2x will cancel out, so you'll be left with -11y=-99. Next, solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -11, which will give you y=9. This is your y-coordinate! At this point, you're halfway to the answer as you just need your x-coordinate. It's not too difficult to find the x-coordinate, since you just substitute 9 into one of the equations. It doesn't matter which one you choose as you should get the same answer with both. I usually substitute the y-value into both equations, though, just to make sure I'm correct. Once you put the y-value into the equations, you should get x=-4 after solving it. :)
