Answer:
The solution would be (-4, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this simply add the two equations together.
-9x+7y=22
9x-5y=-26
----------------
2y = -4
y = -2
Now we have the y value, we can solve for the x value.
9x-5y=-26
9x-5(-2)=-26
9x+10=-16
9x=-36
x = -4

Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Maybe you want to find x such that ...
2/7 = x/(x +10)
2(x +10) = 7x . . . . . . multiply by 7(x+10)
20 = 5x . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x, simplify
4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

<em>Additional comment</em>
You can almost solve this "by inspection" if you recognize the difference of the denominator and numerator is 5 on the left and 10 on the right. If you multiply the fraction on the left by 2/2, you get 4/14, the values in x/(x+10) in the fraction on the right.
