Answer:

  (x, y) = (1, 7.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the first equation for y, then substitute into the second equation.

  y = 8 -1/2x . . . . . subtract 1/2x

  2(8 -1/2x) = x +14

  16 -x = x + 14 . . .eliminate parentheses

  2 = 2x . . . . . . . add x-14

  1 = x . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  y = 8 -1/2(1) = 7 1/2

The solution is (x, y) = (1, 7 1/2).

19 – 5x = 9(1+x) solve
Maurinko [17]

\Large\boxed{\tt Answer:~x=\frac{5}{7} }

\tt Step-by-step~explanation:

Remember: PEMDAS - Parentheses, exponents, multiply/divide, add/subtract

Distribute: 9(1+x) = 9+9x

19 - 5x = 9 + 9x

Add 5x to both sides of the equation and subtract 9 from both sides.

19 - 5x + (5x) = 9 + 9x + (5x)

19 - (9) = 9 - (9) + 14x

10 = 14x

Divide both sides by 14 to get the variable on its own.

10/14 = 14x/14

10/14=x

5/7 = x
