Answer:
x = 3/2 | y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations:
- y = 2x - 6. . . .(i)
- y = -4x + 3. . . . (ii)
Substituting from equation (i) for y:
==> 2x - 6 = -4x + 3
==> 2x + 4x = 6 + 3
==> 6x = 9
<em>dividing both </em><em>sides by 3</em><em>:</em>
==> 2x = 3
==> x = 3/2
Substituting 3/2 for x in equation (i):
==> y = 2(3/2) - 6
==> y = 3 - 6
==> y = -3
Answer:

Hence, they are equivalent.
Answer:
-19.8
Step-by-step explanation:
5n + (-6) = -2
add 6 to -2
5n = -2 + 6
5n = 4
divide both sides by 5
n = 4/5
