3 0

Ok so in order to solve you need to get the variable by itself, in this case it is x. The first thing you do is add or subtract. You add 3 to the left side to cancel it and whatever is done to one side must be done to the other which is why you add 3 to 2. Now the equation is 2x=5. In order to get the x by itself you must divide by 2. When you divide 2x by 2, the 2 will cancel out. Again, you have to do the same thing to the other side. 5 divided by 2 is 5/2, so x=5/2 is your answer. To check, plug in 5/2 for x. 2 times 5/2 is 5 and 5-3 is 2. 2=2 so the answer is correct. Hope this helped!

elect the correct answer from each drop-down menu. A system of linear equations is given by the tables. x y -5 10 -1 2 0 0 11 -2

Answer:

First equation: y = -2x

Second equation: y = 3 - x

Solution: (1, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the ordered pairs of the tables are:

Table 1

(-5, 10) (-1, 2) (0, 0) (11, -22)

Table 2

(-8, -11) (-2, -5) (1, -2) (7, 4)

To create a linear equation, pick 2 ordered pairs. Calculate the slope by using the slope formula, then use the points-slope form of the linear equation to form the equation.

$\textsf{slope }m=\dfrac{\textsf{change in }y}{\textsf{change in }x}$
