x = 0

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

5x - 8(1 + 7x) = -8

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute -8: 5x - 8 - 56x = -8
Combine like terms: -51x - 8 = -8
Isolate x term: -51x = 0
Isolate x: x = 0

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it is a solution.

Substitute in x: 5(0) - 8(1 + 7(0)) = -8
Multiply: 0 - 8(1 + 0) = -8
Add: -8(1) = -8
Multiply: -8 = -8

Here we see that -8 does indeed equal -8.

∴ x = 0 is a solution of the equation.

What is the first step to solve the following system of equations using substitution?

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Step 1: Solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Let's solve the first equation for x

Thus, option A) is true.

The solution to the system of equations be:

$x = 4, y = 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to remember that when we solve the system of equations, the first step we need to do is to solve one of the equations for one of the variables.

Given the system of equations

$x - y = -1$

$2x - y = 3$

Step 1: Solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Let's solve the first equation for x

$x-y=-1$

Add y to both sides

$x-y+y=-1+y$

$x=-1+y$

Thus, option A) is true.

NOW LET US SOLVE THE REMAINING PORTION

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}x=-1+y$ to solve for y

$\begin{bmatrix}2\left(-1+y\right)-y=3\end{bmatrix}$

$-2+y=3$

$y=5$

For x = -1 + y

substitute y = 5

$x=-1+5$

$x=4$

Thus, the solution to the system of equations be:

$x = 4, y = 5$
