Answer:
<h2>x=-0.3</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
1-(-7.2x+3.5)=5+3(7.4x-1) first parenthesis
1+7.2x-3.5=5+22.2x-3
7.2x-2.5=2+22.2x (x on one side and numbers on other)
22.2x-7.2x= -2-2.5
15x=4.5 divide by 15
x=-4.5/15
<h2>x=-0.3</h2>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Hey there!</em>

Well to find the solution the the given system,
3y - 2x = -9
y = -2x + 5
So to find x lets plug in -2x + 5 for y in 3y - 2x = -9.
3(-2x + 5) - 2x = -9
Distribute
-6x + 15 - 2x = -9
-8x + 15 = -9
-15 to both sides
-8x = -24
Divide -8 to both sides
<u>x = 3</u>
<u />
Now that we have x which is 3, we can plug in 3 for x in y = -2x + 5.
y = -2(3) + 5
y = -6 + 5
<u>y = -1</u>
<u><em /></u>
So the solution is (3,-1).

First number = X
second number = x +26 ( exceeds means higher so add 26)
x + x+26 = 58
combine like terms:
2x + 26 = 58
subtract 26 from each side:
2x = 58-26
2x = 32
divide both sides by 2:
x = 32/2
x = 16
first number is 16
second number = 16+26 = 42
