Answer: x=-8
Step-by-step explanation: 12-5x+6x=4 1. Combine like terms: -5x+6x+12=4 2. Simplify: x+12-12=4-12 3. Subtract 4 from -12 so that you can find out what x is: x=-8
-2 + n = -8(1 - 8n) + 6
Distribute the -8
-2 + n = -8 + 64n + 6
Combine like terms.
-2 + n = 64n - 2
Add 2 to both sides and subtract n from both sides.
0 = 63n
Divide both sides by 63
0 = n
Answer:
3075
Step-by-step explanation:
To start off with, DF=EG's reason is given, since you stated it was given.
Next, DE+EF = EF+FG's reason is because of the substitution property of equality. Think "if a = c, b = c, then a = b"
Lastly, DE = FG's reason is because of the Subtraction property of equality. If you subtract EF on one side, you must do it on the other side.

Solve the following using Substitution method
2x – 5y = -13
3x + 4y = 15


- To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

- Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left-hand side of the equal sign. I'm choosing the 1st equation for now.

- Add 5y to both sides of the equation.


- Multiply
times 5y - 13.

- Substitute
for x in the other equation, 3x + 4y = 15.

- Multiply 3 times
.

- Add
to 4y.

- Add
to both sides of the equation.

- Divide both sides of the equation by 23/2, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

- Substitute 3 for y in
. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.


- Add
to
by finding a common denominator and adding the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to its lowest terms if possible.

- The system is now solved. The value of x & y will be 1 & 3 respectively.
