Answer:
x= - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply both sides by 4 to get rid of the fractions. you should then get:
2x-4x=x+24
then get all the x terms to one side by subtracting by x on each side:
2x-4x-x=24
then simplify:
-3x=24
divide by -3 on each side:
x= - 8
Answer:
he is 23 miles northeast from this starting spot
Step-by-step explanation:
ok so you start with the directions and notice they are different but this equation worked in our favor because the directions are north and east then all you do is add 8 + 15 and you get 23 so its 23 miles northeast from starting position
7x - 4y = -28
3x +4y = -12
Using the elimination method because y is already eliminated
10x = -40
So x = -4
Then plug the -4 into the first equation....
7(-4) - 4y = -28
-28 - 4y = -28
-4y = 0
y = 0
I got: -4,0
