Answer:
A. 7/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The solution is (3/8, -7/8).
Step-by-step explanation:
y = −5x + 1
y = 3x − 2
Since the 2 expressions in x are both equal to y :
−5x + 1 = 3x - 2
-5x - 3x = -2 - 1
-8x = -3
x = 3/8.
So y = 3x - 2
= 3(3/8) - 2
= 9/8 - 2 = -7/8.
Answer:
B = C - D / A
Step-by-step explanation:
C = AB + D
subtract D
C - D = AB
Divide by A
B = C - D / A
C and D are both divided by A
