Answer:

x = - 2

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to do this is to put - 3x in for y in the second equation.

4x - 2(-3x) = - 20        Watch the signs. You have 2 minus signs.

4x - - 6x = -20            Change - - 6x to 6x

4x + 6x = - 20              Add

10x = - 20                   Divide by 10

x = -20/10

x = - 2

============================

Find y

y = - 3x

y = -3 * -2

y = 6

What is the solution to the equation -4(2x + 3) = 2x + 6 - (8x + 2)?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

B. x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(2x + 3) = 2x + 6 - (8x + 2)

-8x -12 = 2x + 6 - 8x -2

(now, "-8" in both terms is cancelled):

-12 = 2x + 6 - 2

(leave 2x alone in second term):

-12 -6 +2 = 2x

-16 = 2x

-16/2 = x

-8 = x

2. Suppose you pay $21 for a pair of shoes that was originally $30. What was the percent of decrease in price for the shoes? Set
boyakko [2]
30$ originally - 21$ paid = 9$ discount

> divide the discount by the original price, multiply by 100 to get the percent decrease.

100 x (9$ / 30$) = 30% discount
> So the shoes where on sale for 30% off the original price.

for the equation:
100 x (30-21)/30 = % decrease
