Hello :
<span>
y=5x+8
y= -4x-1
5x+8 = -4x-1
9x =-9
x = -1
y = 5(-1)+8 = 3
</span><span>ordered pair is the solution to the system : ( -1 , 3)</span>
A way to add fractions that always works is to multiply each numerator by the denominator of the other, then express the sum of products over the product of the denominators.

Here, you have
The sum is -1 1/12
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
-6x - 20 = -2x + 4 (1 - 3x)
Distributive property
-6x - 20 = -2x + 4 - 12x
Combine like terms
-6x - 20 = -14x + 4
Add 14x to both sides
-6x - 20 + 14x = -14x + 4 + 14x
Simplifying
8x - 20 = 4
Add 20 to both sides
8x = 24
Divide both sides by 8
x = 3
Combine your like terms: 5v + 5 = 5v +4
subtract the 5v and 4 from each side: 0 = 1
because 0
