Set equal to eachother
(2x+1) = 79
Subtract 1 from both sides
2x=78
Divide 2 from both sides
2x/2=78/2
X= 39
2.95 * 10%=
2.95 * .1 =
.295
Subtract .295 from 2.95
2.95 - .295 = 2.655
$ 2.66
<span>3(a+(6x)y) was clearly multiplied out as seen by the 3a and 18xy, so the distributive property was used there. In addition, the commutative and associative properties state that you can rearrange sums, so those were used too </span><span />
If you use the first answer, the equation becomes 2x + 2y = 16. You could subtract this from equation Q to eliminate x.
The second answer makes equation P -2x - 2y = -16. You could add this to equation Q to eliminate x. You can use both of these methods to eliminate the x term, but if you can only choose one, you should choose the second option.
