Answer:
x = -11/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
-2 = 5 / (2x+3)
Multiplying both sides by (2x + 3)
-2(2x + 3) = 5
"-" sign will alter the inner signs
-4x -6 = 5
Adding 6 on both sides:
-4x -6 +6 = 5 + 6
-4x = 11
Dividing both sides by -4
-4x/-4 = 11/-4
x = -11/4

Answer:
1/21
Step-by-step explanation:
The baker makes 84 loaves of bread,
Out of the 84 bread, 4 of them got burn.
Fraction that the loaves does the burn will be expressed in 4/84 = 1/21.
This is a system of equation:
7y - 5x = 31
x = 4 - 2y
Plug in 4 - 2y for x
7y - 5(4 - 2y) = 31
Distribute -5 to both 4 and -2y
7y - 20 + 10y = 31
Simplify
17y - 20 = 31
Isolate the y. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
Add 20 to both sides
17y - 20 (+20) = 31 (+20)
17y = 51
Divide 17 from both sides to isolate the y
17y/17 = 51/17
y = 51/17 or 3
y = 3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plug in 3 for y in one of the equations.
x=4−2y
x = 4 - 2(3)
Simplify.
x = 4 - 6
x = -2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x = -2, y = 3 is your answer, or B)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
