Answer:
1. x = 2
2. x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 6 - 4x = 6x -8x + 2
6 - 4x = -2x + 2
+4x +4x
6 = 2x + 2
-2 -2
4 = 2x
/2 /2
2 = x
2.
6 - 6x = 5x -9x -2
6 - 6x = -4x -2
+6x +6x
6 = 2x -2
+2 +2
8 = 2x
/2 /2
4 = x

Answer: 1</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Just plug in -2 anywhere you see an <u>a</u>

The x-coordinate of the solution. 1
-3x + y = 4
Solve for y
y = 3x + 4
Plug this y value into the other equation.
-9x + 5y = -1
-9x + 5(3x + 4) = -1
Distribute 5(3x + 4)
-9x + 15x + 20 = -1
Subtract 20 from both sides
-9x + 15x + 20 - 20 = -1 - 20
-9x + 15x = -21
Combine like terms
6x = -21
Divide both sides by 6
6/6 x = -21/6
1x = -21/6
x = -7/2
x = -3.5 or -7/2
Plug this value into an equation to solve for y.
-3(-3.5) + y = 4
10.5 + y = 4
Subtract both sides by 10.5
10.5 - 10.5 + y = 4 - 10.5
y = -6.5
Check this answer by plugging the value of x into the other equation.
-9(-3.5) + 5y = -1
31.5 + 5y = -1
Subtract both sides by 31.5
31.5 - 31.5 + 5y = -1 - 31.5
5y = -32.5
Divide both sides by 5
y = -6.5 or -13/2
Therefore the solution is ( -3.5 , -6.5 )
Answer:
x=11
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-3)/2=(x+1)/3
multiply (x-3)(3) and 2(x+1)
3(x-3)=2(x+1)
3x-9=2x+2
Get the variables on one side and numbers on another
3x-2x=3+9
x=11
