For x = 7 + (-1) = 6 -> 6/2 = 3
For y = -5 + (-2) = -7 -> -7/2 = -3.5
Midpoint(3, 3.5)
Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The solution to the system of equations be:
x = 2, y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system of equation
y - 2 = x
y = 3x - 2
substitute y = 3x - 2 in the equation y - 2 = x
y - 2 = x
(3x - 2) - 2 = x
3x -2 -2 = x
3x - 4 = x
add 4 from both sides
3x - 4 + 4 = x + 4
3x = x + 4
subtract x from both sides
3x - x = x + 4 - x
3x - x = 4
2x = 4
divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 4/2
x = 2
For y = 3x - 2, plug in x = 2
y = 3x - 2
y = 3(2) - 2
y = 6 - 2
y = 4
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations be:
x = 2, y = 4
Combine like terms so 3x + 3x= 6x
Then put the minus signs with the 4 and 5 and add them together so -4+ -5= -9
Now you have 6x=-9 So you divide by 6 on both sides canceling out 6
but 9 divided by 6 doesn't go into a specific number therefore it has no solution which is a possible answer
