Answer:
x = 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Perform the indicated multiplication:
Clear out the fractions. The LCD here is 12, so multiply both sides by 12, obtaining:
3(3x - 1) = 24x - 8, or
9x - 3 = 24x - 8
Combining like terms, we get 5 = 15x, so that x = 1/3.
Answer:
(4, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
given the 2 equations
y = x - 4 → (1)
- 4x - 6y = - 16 → (2)
substitute y = x - 4 into (2)
- 4x - 6(x - 4) = - 16
- 4x - 6x + 24 = - 16
- 10x + 24 = - 16 ( subtract 24 from both sides )
- 10x = - 40 ( divide both sides by - 10 )
x = 4
substitute x = 4 into (1) for corresponding value of y
y = 4 - 4 = 0
solution is (4, 0)
