Divide the first equation by 2 and add the result to the second equation. This will eliminate x.
... (-4x -2y)/2 + (2x +4y) = (-12)/2 +(-12)
... 3y = -18 . . . . . collect terms
... y = -6 . . . . . . . divide by 3
Substitute this into either equation to find x. Let's use the second equation, where the coefficient of x is positive.
... 2x +4(-6) = -12
... 2x = 12 . . . . . . . . add 24
... x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
The solution is (x, y) = (6, -6).

Answer:
I do not know if that x is a multiply sign or a variable so I'm going to answer both
If the x is a multiplication sign then the answer is -20 = -9
If the x is a variable then the answer is x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2(5 * -8) = -9
(1 * 5 * -8)/2 = -9
(5 * -8)/2 = -9
-40/2 = -9
-20 = -9
-20 ≠ -9
1/2(5x - 8) = -9
1(5x -8)/2 = -9
(5x - 8)/2 = -9
2((5x - 8)/2) = -9 * 2
2(5x - 8)/2 = -9 * 2
5x - 8 = -9 * 2
5x - 8 = -18
+8 +8
------------------
5x = -10
x = -10/5
x = -2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6/9+x=7/10
x=7/10-6/9
when adding fractions both denominators must be equal, we’ll make them 90
x=(7/10)(9/9)-(6/9)(10/10)
x=63/90-60/90
x=3/90, the greatest divisor of 3 and 90 is 3 so divide both the numerator and denominator by 3
x=(3/3)/(90/3)
x=1/30
