First we have to isolate the varible
-2/5x-2=18
+2 +2
-2/5x=20
then divide both sides by -2/5 to get x completely by itself
-2/5x=20
------- ---
-2/5 -2/5
x=-50
i hope i've helped!
Answer: x = 8, y = 2, coordinates (8,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x = 4y + 8 (divide by 2 to get value of x)
x = 2y + 4
(now substitute x into the second equation to find value of y)
2y + 4 - 2y = 4
2y - 2y = 4 - 4 (divide by 2 to get value of y)
y - y = 2 - 2
y = 2
Now plug in value of "y" to get value of "x".
x - 2(2) = 4
x - 4 = 4
x = 8
Coordinates (8,2)
