<span>36 divided by .40 = 90 so its 90

I believe if that says three minus four times three minus five or three plus negative four times three plus negative five (same thing) then the answers should be positive two (2.)
-4(x + 1) + 7x = 8
-4x - 4 + 7x = 8
3x - 4 = 8
3x = 8 + 4
3x = 12
x = 12/3
x = 4 <===
Ok so for starters you want to choose an equation and solve for a variable.
So, I am going to choose x from the first equation.
Add y to both sides and you get x=11+y
Next, substitute 11+y for x in the other equation so you get...
2(11+y) +10y=-6
Next distribute the 2 throug the 11 and the y
22+2y+10y=-6
12y=-28
y=-28/12
reduce this fraction to make this easier.
y=-7/3
Now plug in why to either of the equations to find x
x-(-7/3)=11
x+7/3=11
x=11-(7/3)
x=(33/3)-(7/3)
x=26/3
so x = 26/3 and y = -7/3
you can also check to see if this is correct by substituting each of these values into the equations.
