(4x-5)+(2x-3)
4x+2x= 6x
-5+-3= -8
6x-8
Answer:
D. (17,-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll start by canceling out x. To do so, multiple the first equation by -1
-1( x - 2y)=( 19 )(-1)
This gives us:
-x +2y = -19
x + 3y = 14
Add the equations together:
→ 5y = -15
→ y = -1
Plug in y = -1 into an equation:
→ x + 3(-1) = 14
→ x - 3 = 14
→ x = 17

Answer:
The number is 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the unknown number.
"two less than a number" is x - 2
Quotient means the result of a division.
(x - 2)/5 = 8
Multiply both sides by 5.
x - 2 = 40
Add 2 to both sides.
x = 42
Answer: The number is 42.
Check.
Start with 42. 2 less than 42 is 40. The quotient of 40 and 5 is 40/5 which is 8. The answer is correct.
-2° was the initial temperature as it dropped to -5°
-2-5=-7
