There’s an app that can solve this easily called photo math it’s what I used But x= 3
X=32
Explanation:
When you change sides, if in the left side you are multiplying, when you transfer it to right side you divide. Same thing should be done for addition subtraction.
So /-4 was division and negative number
When we transfered it, it became positive multiplication number
D. All of the above. They are all rational numbers
So let's say
x=number of five dollare bills
y=number of 1 dolar bills
20 bills total
x+y=20
totla is 72 monies
72=5 times x+1 times y=5x+1y=5x+y
solve
x+y=20
5x+y=72
from here you could do 2 things: go to option 1 (longer) or option 2 (shorter)
1.
x+y=20
subtract x from both sides
y=20-x
5x+y=72
subtract 5x from boths ides
y=72-5x
subsitute
y=20-x=y=72-5x
20-x=72-5x
add 5x to both sides
20+4x=72
subtract 20 from both sides
4x=52
divide both sides by 4
x=13
subsitute
x+y=20
13+y=20
subtract 13
y=7
2.
another way is when you got 5x+y=72 and x+y=20
you negative the second equaiton and add to th efirst
I know it sounds like voodo at first but it works
-(x+y=20)=-x-y=-20
add
5x+y=72
<u>-x-y=-20 +</u>
4x+0y=52
4x=52
divide both sides by 4
x=13
subsitute
x+y=20
13+y=20
subtract 13
y=7
P and q both equal 16. This is because, 25 - 9 = 16.
