Answer:
x = - 3
y = - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with the second equation. Switch
3y = 2x Divide by 3
3y/3 = 2x/3
y = 2x/3
Now go to the first equation. Put the value for y in the first equation.
x - 3(2x/3) = 3 Cancel the 3s on the left.
x - 2x = 3 Combine
-x = 3 Multiply by -1
-1(-x) = 3(-1)
x = - 3
Now go back to the original equation I have called the second equation
2x = 3y
2(-3) = 3y Put in - 3 for x
- 6 = 3y Divide by 3
-6 / 3 = y
y = - 2
Answer:
Mildred is correct because she distributed 5 correctly
Step-by-step explanation:
We cannot tell exactly which solution goes with which student, but we believe you are saying ...
Mildred’s Solution:
5 (Negative 2 and one-fourth) = 5 (negative 2 minus one-fourth)
= negative 10 minus StartFraction 5 over 4 EndFraction
= negative 11 and one-fourth
This solution describes the correct distribution of 5. Whoever it belongs to gave the correct solution.
