Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 8(x + 5) = 6 - 3x
Remember to follow PEMDAS. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
First, distribute -8 to all terms within the parenthesis
-8(x + 5) = (-8)(x) + (-8)(5) = -8x - 40
5x - 8x - 40 = 6 - 3x
Isolate the variable (x). Add 3x & 40 to both sides
5x - 8x (+3x) - 40 (+40) = 6 (+40) - 3x (+3x)
5x - 8x + 3x = 6 + 40
Simplify. Combine like terms
(5x - 8x + 3x) = (6 + 40)
0 = 46 ; False 0 ≠ 46 ∴ no solution is your answer

Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3,-19
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for "y" means that we need to get y to be on one side of the equation. It should look like y= something. To get the y by itself, we need to get rid of that -3. To do that, we'll have to divide by -3 (because even though there's a y being divided, the -3 is still the numerator). 6/-3 is -1/2. Therefore your answer is y=-1/2
