7 0

Answer:

Add 7 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

You would need to add 7 to both sides to cancel out the 7 on the right side of the equation to get x one step closer to being by itself.

Then you would get 4x = -8.

Next divide by 4 on both sides to get x by itself so do the inverse operation of what 4 was doing to x.

x = -2

Answer:

y = (7 - x) / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You isolate the y by subtracting the x

2y = 7 - x

and then you divide by two to get the answer to y

(7 - x) / 2

Which ordered pair makes both inequalities true?

kvasek [131]

Answer:

(3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality y > -2x + 3 and y ≤ x - 2

The graph of the inequalities are plotted using the geogebra graphing online calculator.

The portion of the graph that is shaded with dark blue, represents the portion that supports the equation.

All the ordered pair points given in the question are also labelled in the graph.

From the graph we can see that only point (3, 0) falls in the area that supports the equation. Hence (3, 0) makes both inequalities true.
