Question

I need the steps and answers please

Answer 1

Answer:

you could use 3,5,1 as your answer, but I have a feeling you are expected to answer x = 15 / (1 - 2y)  It depends on what you have been told.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take out x as a common factor.

I suspect there are many possible answers -- well more than 1 unique answer.

x (1 - 2y) = 15             Divide by 1 - 2y

x = 15 / (1 - 2y)

1 - 2y =  3

-2y =  2

y = -1

What does that give you?

1 - 2(-1) = 3

x = 15/3

x = 5

1- 2y = 5

- 2y = 4

y = -2

x = 15 / 5

x = 3

1 - 2y = 15

-2y = 15 - 1

-2y = 15

y = - 7

x = 15 / 15 = 1
