So, you need to do the same operation to each side.
Start out by subtracting 3 from each side
1/4 (20x+8) = -3
Then, multiply both sides by 4
40x+8 = -12
Then, subtract 8 from each side
40x = -20
divide both sides by 40 and you get
x=-1/2
Hope this helped!
Solve for x in the second equation.
Just add 1 to both sides to get x = 9y + 1
Then plug 9y + 1 into the first equation for x
7(9y+1) - 9y = 1
63y + 7 - 9y = 1
54y + 7 = 1
54y = -6
y = -6/54 or -1/9
Plug y back into one of the equations to get x = 0
Answer: (0, -1/9)
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
22.5 ft because it is a ratio
4:9
2:4.5
X5 both sides
10:22.5 ft
