I would say either a or b
Answer:
a= 40-3b-c/5
a=-10+3b-2c
a=50+2b-3c/14
Step-by-step explanation:
5a+3b+c-(3b+c)=40-(3b+c)
5a=40-3b-c
5a/5=40/5-3b/5-c/5
a= 40-3b-c/5
a-3b+2c-(3b+2c)=-10-(-3b+2c)
a=-10+3b-2c
14a-2b+3c-(-2b+3c)=50-(-2b+3c)
14a=50+2b-3c
14a/14=50/14+2b/14-3c/14
a=50+2b-3c/14
Since the two equations equal y, set them equal to each other.
x-1=-2x+5
From there, solve for x.
First get x on one side, by using the addition property of equality.
x-1=-2x+5
3x-1=5
Isolate x by adding 1.
3x=6
Lastly get x all by itself by dividing each side by 3.
x=2
You can now substitute your x-value, 2, into one of the equations (or both, if you wish; either one will result in the same answer.)
y=x-1
y=2-1
y=1
OR
y=-2x+5
y=-2(2)+5
y=-4+5
y=1
Final answer:
x=2 and y=1
Any questions or anything you would like me to clarify, feel free to ask :)
Coool veryyy coool omg wow
