To solve this system of equations, since y is already isolated in both equations, you can set the expressions to equal each other to solve for x:

-x + 2 = - 5x - 6
-x + 5x = -6 - 2
4x = -8
x = -2

Now that we have x, we can substitute it into one of the equations to find y:

y = -(-2) + 2
y = 2 + 2
y = 4

The last step is to substitute both values into both equations to see if they are correct:

4 = -(-2) + 2 --> 4 = 2 + 2 <--True
4 = -5(-2) - 6 --> 4 = 10 - 6 <--True

Answer:
x = -2
y = 4

3(x-6) + 4 + 5x - 6 (use distributive property) please help asap!

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

8x - 20

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 6) + 4 + 5x - 6 $\longmapsto$ Distribute 3 to (x - 6)

3(x) - 3(6) + 4 + 5x - 6

3x - 18 + 4 + 5x - 6

Simplify:

3x + 5x - 18 + 4 - 6

8x -18 - 2

8x - 20

In a class of p students, the average (arithmetic mean) of the test scores is 70. in another class of n students, the average of

lys-0071 [83]

First case:

average of test score =70

number of students =p

total score of 'p' students = ( average of test score)*( number of students)

total score of 'p' students =70p

Second case:

average of test score =92

number of students =n

total score of 'n' students = ( average of test score)*( number of students)

total score of 'n' students =92n

total number of students = p+n

total average score =86

so, total score =86(p+n)

total score = total score of 'p' students +total score of 'n' students

$86(p+n)=70p+92n$

now, we can simplify it

$86p+86n=70p+92n$

$86p-70p=92n-86n$

$16p=6n$

now, we can find p/n

$\frac{p}{n}= \frac{6}{16}$

$\frac{p}{n}= \frac{3}{8}$ ................Answer
