9x=6, so the number is 2/3.
Its pretty simple
9x-7y = 22
x + 3y = -24
(9x-7y = 22)
-9(x + 3y = -24)
= -9x -27y = 216
+ 9x-7y = 22
= -34y = 238
= / -34 = 238/-34
y = -7
now plug -7 in one of the equation
x + 3(-7) = -24
x -21 = -24
+21. +21
x = -3
so answer is x = -3 and y = -7
Without the instructions, I can only assume that you are to "expand the given expression."
Following order of operations rules requires that (3x-2)^2 and -6(2x-1.5) be evaluated first.
(3x-2)^2 = 9x^2 - 12x + 4 and -6(2x-1.5) = -12x + 9
Then we have 9x^2 - (9x^2 - 12x + 4) -12x + 9
the 9x^2 terms cancel, leaving us with 12x - 4 - 12x + 9 = 5 (answer)
I think the answer is 6 since u multiply them
