Answer: x = -1 and y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
So if you know y = x-1 you can plug that in where y is in the first equation
-4x + 3(x-1) = -2
Distribute the 3:
-4x +3x -3 = -2
Combine like terms:
-x -3 = -2
Add 3 to both sides:
-x = 1
Multiply by -1:
X = -1
Then you plug that into the other equation to get y=(-1)-1
Which is -2
Answer:
x = -5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
8/(x+3)=1/(x+1)
Using cross products
8*(x+1) = 1*(x+3)
Distribute
8x+8 = x+3
Subtract x from each side
8x-x +8 = x+3-x
7x +8 =3
Subtract 8 from each side
7x+8-8 = 3-8
7x = -5
Divide by 7
7x/7 = -5/7
x = -5/7
