4x - 26 = 2x - 4....subtract 2x from both sides
4x - 2x - 26 = -4...add 26 to both sides
4x - 2x = -4 + 26...combine terms
2x = 22...divide both sides by 2
x = 22/2 = 11
OR
4x - 26 = 2x - 4.....subtract 4x from both sides
-26 = 2x - 4x - 4....add 4 to both sides
-26 + 4 = 2x - 4x...combine terms
-22 = -2x....divide both sides by -2
-22/-2 = x
11 = x
Answer:
B: 0.15
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2y = 3x - 8
y = 3/2x - 4
Work
-2x + 5(3/2x - 4) = -9
-2x + 15/2x - 20 (+20) = -9 (+20)
-4/2x + 15/2x = 11
11/2x * (2/11) = 11 (2/11)
x = 2
3(2) - 2y = 8
6 (-6) - 2y = 8 (-6)
-2y = 2
y = - 1
final answer:
x = 2
y = -1
