Answer:
question 8
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4
2x + 3y = 22
put y = 4 into equation 2
2x + 3 ( 4) = 22
2x + 12 = 22
2x = 22 - 12
2x = 10
x = 5
therefore x = 5 and y = 4
Answer:
the coefficient of x is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x - y + z) + (2x - y - z) - (3x - y - z) = 3x - y + z + 2x - y - z - (3x - y - z)
Apply the distributive law: - (a - b) = -a + b
Therefore, - (3x - y - z) = -3x + y + z
So (3x - y + z) + (2x - y - z) - (3x - y - z) = 3x - y + z + 2x - y - z - 3x + y + z
Collect like terms: = 3x + 2x - 3x - y - y + y + z - z + z
Combine like terms: = 2x - y + z
Therefore, the coefficient of x is 2
Therefore, the coefficient of x is 2
Answer:
2(x +14) = 40 (use the distributive property)
2x + 28 = 40 (solve exactly like you did for Fran)
2x = 12
x = 6
