<span> 1/3(2x - 3) + 1 = 1/4(3x + 5) - 2
2x/3 - 3/3 + 1 = 3x/4 + 5/4 - 2
2x/3 - 1 + 1 = 3x/4 + 5/4 - 2
2x/3 - 3x/4 - 0 = 3x/4 - 3x/4 + 5/4 - 2
2x*4/3*4 - 3x*3/4*3 = 0 + 5*1/4*1 - 2*4/1*4
8x/12 - 9x/12 = 5/4 - 8/4
(8x - 9x)/12 = (5 - 8)/4
-x/12 = -3/4
-x/12 * 12 = -3/4 * 12
-x = -36/4
-x * -1 = -36/4 * -1
x = 36/4
x = 9
Done
For check the answer
let x = 9
1/3(2[9] - 3) + 1 = 1/4(3[9] + 5) - 2
1/3(18 - 3) + 1 = 1/4(27 + 5) - 2
1/3(15) + 1 = 1/4(32) - 2
15/3 + 1 = 32/4 - 2
15/3 + 3/3 = 32/4 - 8/4
18/3 = 24/4
6 = 6
therefor
x = 9 is a correct answer</span>
You would substitute the given value of “y” into the equation of -14x+y=16
-14x+5x-2=16
Then you would solve for “x”
x=2
You would then substitute the value of “x” into the equation to solve for “y”
y=5(2)-2
Which would then give you a value for “y”
y=12
So the answer is (2,12)
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
We use the method of completing the squares.
The equation is

We rewrite the above equation to obtain;

We divide through by 3 to obtain;

We add half the coefficient of

to both sides of the equation to get,

The right hand side is now a perfect square.

We now take square root of both sides to get;

We add -2 to both sides,

We simplify to obtain,
Tan^-1 (tan x) = 42/25
x=tan^-1 42/25
x= 59.237 degrees.
I’m pretty sure that says 6 cups of vegetables so 84 cups but if you meant 1/6 of a cup then 7/3 cups or 2/1/3
