Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x - 1
y = x - 8 ------ (i)
substitute y = 2x - 1 in equation (i)
2x - 1 = x - 8
2x = x - 8 + 1
2x = x - 7
2x - x = -7
x = -7
Substitute x value in equation (i)
y = -7 - 8
y = -15
If you are looking for how to turn that worded problem into an equation...
Heres the answer you're looking for
3x-11
(I'm guessing you mean ton)
10 ton = 20,000 pounds
23/6 as a mixed fraction is 3(5/6)
It would be 3 times the sum of x and seven plus 10. This is because first you would would add 7+x (7x) and multiply it by 3. And then add on 10.
