You can simply collect terms, subtract the constant and divide by the x-coefficient. It is generally considered easier to do those steps if you eliminate fractions first (multiply by 12).
Multiply by 12
... 4(x -1) +3(x +5) = 6
... 4x -4 +3x +15 = 6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
... 7x +11 = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . .collect terms
... 7x = -5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract the constant 11
... x = -5/7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient

Here it is the other way.
... x(1/3 +1/4) +(-1/3 +5/4) = 1/2
... (7/12)x + 11/12 = 1/2 . . add the fractions to finish collecting terms
... x + 11/7 = 6/7 . . . . . . . multiply by 12/7
... x = -5/7 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 11/7
At the third step here, you could subtract 11/12 before doing the multiply. You get the same answer, but you have to do the extra conversion of 1/2=6/12.
Answer:
The better deal is 4 bagels for $3.00.
The fractions you would compare would be:
11 / 10 = 1.10 and
3 / 4 = 0.75
A "deal" would refer to the better value. In this case the better deal has a lower ratio of dollars to bagels.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y =-5x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -5x + 4
Slope = -5
Parallel lines have same slope
Slope of the parallel line to this line = -5
(1 , 2)
y -y1 =m(x - x1)
y - 2 = -5(x - 1)
y -2 = -5x + 5
y = -5x + 5 + 2
y = -5x + 7
3x+2y=22
3x-2y=2
we add these to equations together
6x=24
x=4
then we plug in x to find y
3*4+2y=22
12+2y=22
2y=10
y=5
solution is (4,5) (x=4 and y=5)
Hello,
Let's assume k the ratio.
