Factor out the GCF. Do not forget to include the GCF as part of your final answer. In this case, the three terms have a 3x in common, which leaves: Step 3: Multiply the leading coefficient and the constant, that is multiply the first and last numbers together.
-(5y) - y = 18
-6y = 18
y = -3
x = 5(-3)
x = -15
(-15, -3)
5x + 4(-7x - 3) = -35
5x -28x -12 = -35
-23x = -23
x = 1
y = -7(1) - 3
y = -10
(1,-10)
700/200 as a terminating decimal is 3.5
The answer would be c because 1-5-7 is the same as 5-8
