So first you have to move the -2 over to the opposite side.
8(9x-4)=3+2+2
Then you can simplify the right side
8(9x-4)=7
Then you distribute
8*9x=72x
8*-4=-32
so now you have...
72x-32=7
Then you move the 37 over
72x=39
Then you divide by 72 to isolate x
x=39/72 or x= 13/24 or <span>x=0.54167</span>
Answer:

a+3=-2
a=-3
Answer:
(1, 6 )
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 2y = 17 → (1)
4x + y = 10 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term
- 8x - 2y = - 20 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
- 3x + 0 = - 3
- 3x = - 3 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
x = 1
Substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
5(1) + 2y = 17
5 + 2y = 17 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
2y = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )
y = 6
solution is (1, 6 )
