Answer:
x = 5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable by subtracting 1/8 from both sides:
3/4 - 1/8 = 5/8
Now, the equation is:
x = 5/8
Therefore, the answer is 5/8
The answer is 14 because a negative number multiplied by another negative number is positive. So (-7)*(-2) is 14.
4.4a-7.3 is equal to
4.4a= 7.3 divide both sides by 4.4
a= 1.66
Answer:
Since both equations are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other.
y =-3x +8
y = -5x -2
-3x +8 = -5x -2
Solve for x.To do this, we need to get x by itself. First, move all the numbers to one side of the equation, and all the variables to the other.
-3x +8 = -5x -2
Add 5x to both sides
-3x+5x +8=-5x+5x -2
2x+8=-2
Subtract 8 from both sides
2x+8-8 = -2-8
2x=-10
Now, all the numbers are on one side, with the variables on the other. x is not by itself, it is being multiplied by 2. To undo this, divide both sides by 2
2x/2= -10/2
x= -5
Now, to find y, substitute -5 in for x in one of the equations.
y = -5x -2
y= -5(-5) -2
y=25-2
y=23
Put the solution into (x,y)
<u><em>The solution is (-5, 23)</em></u>
