-4y - x - (3y - 9x)...distribute the - thru the parenthesis
-4y - x - 3y + 9x....now combine like terms
8x - 7y <== or -7y + 8x
Answer:
An equation can have infinitely many solutions when it should satisfy some conditions. The system of an equation has infinitely many solutions when the lines are coincident, and they have the same y-intercept. If the two lines have the same y-intercept and the slope, they are actually in the same exact line.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be x and y, then
x - y = 48 . . . (1)
x + y = 60 . . . (2)
(1) - (2) => -2y = -12 => y = -12/-2 = 6
From (1), x - 6 = 48 => x = 48 + 6 = 54
Therefore, the two numbers are 54 and 6.
Answer:
x > 7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x + 7) < 7(x + 2)
Expand brackets: 3x + 21 < 7x + 14
Subtract 14 from both sides: 3x +7 < 7x
Subtract 3x from both sides: 7 < 4x
Divide both sides by 4: 7/4 < x
Therefore x > 7/4
