Answer:
(-1, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 5y = -16 [Equation 1]
-x + 3y = 10 [Equation 2]
<u>Adding both equations</u>
- x - x - 5y + 3y = -16 + 10
- -2y = -6
- y = 3
- x - 5(3) = -16
- x - 15 = -16
- x = -1
<u>Solution</u> : (-1, 3)
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle DCE is similar to EGF
CE/EF=DE/EG
Substitute
(8x-1)/21=(6x+3)/17
Cross multiply
(8x−1)*(17)=(6x+3)*(21)
136x−17=126x+63
Subtract 126x from both sides
10x−17=63
Add 17 to both sides.
10x−17+17=63+17
10x=80
Divide both sides by 10.
x=8
There is no difference they are both negative numbers or we could say 25 is higher number then 10 but it negative
The number on the left is the x, and the number on the right is the y. so if the x is negative, then it would be on the x axis line. and you always use the x line first.
