2 3/2 is not equal to any of these
Hey!
To solve x in this equation we must first add five to both sides to get

on its own.
<em>Original Equation :</em>

<em>New Equation {Added 5 to Both Sides} :</em>

Now we must square both sides of the equation.
<em>Old Equation :</em>

<em>New Equation {Changed by Squaring Both Sides} :</em>

And now we must solve the new equation.
Step 1 - Switch sides

Step 2 - Subtract x from both sides

Step 3 - Simplify

Now we need to solve the rest of the equation using the quadratic formula.






9

4
<em>So, this means that in the equation

,</em>
x = 9 <em>and </em>
x = 4.Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>
-5y + 8x = -18
5y + 2x = 58
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
<em>Elimination</em>
- Combine 2 equations: 10x = 40
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 10 on both sides: x = 4
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em> [Original equation]: -5y + 8(4) = -18
- Multiply: -5y + 32 = -18
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 32 on both sides: -5y = -50
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide -5 on both sides: y = 10
