1. 3x=y
3+y=z
2. 1/2y=x
7x=z
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation 1
Equation 2
What is the value of
where each variable represents a real number?
Let's expand equation 1:


Simplify each term if can:

See if we can factor a little to get some of the left hand side of equation 2:
The first two terms have
and if I factored
from first two terms I would have
which is the first term of left hand side of equation 2.
So let's see what happens if we gather the terms together that have the same variable squared together.

Factor the variable squared terms out of each binomial pairing:

Replace the sum of those first three terms with what it equals which is 6 from the equation 2:

Combine like terms:

Subtract 6 on both sides:

Divide both sides by 3:

Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (&Roots)
Multiplications
Divisions
Additions
Subtractions

First, add 6 to both sides of the equation:
-5x - 6 = 29
-5x - 6 (+6) = 29 (+6)
-5x = 29 + 6
-5x = 35
Next, divide -5 from both sides of the equation:
(-5x)/-5 = (35)/-5
x = 35/-5
x = -7
-7 is your answer for x.

It would be the bottom right because it’s closest to a line
