Ainat [17]2 years ago

Answer:

The first step is to replace the y in y-x=15 with 7x (we can do this because the first equation tells us that they're equal)

solve and get

(2.5,17.5)

or x= 2.5 y=17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to recognize that y=7x which means that we can just replace the y in the second equation with 7x

7x-x=15

6x=15

x=2.5

Then we can solve for y

y=7(2.5)

y=17.5

I don't really know if the question is complete but...

y = x -10    can be a solution

so y would be -7 when x is 3

Solve for
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

x = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + 5) = 6x + 4

Open bracket first

2 × x + 2×5 = 6x + 4

2x + 10 = 6x + 4

Rewrite equation

6x + 4 = 2x + 10

Subtract 2x from both sides

6x - 2x + 4 = 2x - 2x + 10

4x + 4 = 10

Subtract 4 from both sides

4x + 4 - 4 = 10 - 4

4x = 6

Divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 6/4

x = 6/4

Divide both denominator and numerator by 2

x = (6/4) ÷ 2

x = 3/2

I hope this was helpful, please rate as brainliest
