Answer:
X = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 13x = 18
(4 - 13 = -9)
-9x = 18
Divide both sides by -9
x = -2
Answer:
y=7.51
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to simplify one of the equations down
3x-y=4
y=-4+3x
Second, you insert the value of y into the other equation and then solve for x
9x+5(-4+3x)=8
9x-20+15x=8
24x=28
x=1.17
Last, insert the value of x into the original equation and then solve for y
y=4+3(1.17)
y=7.51
Answer:
Let x = the number
"Fifteen more than" means addition
"Three times a number" is multiplication
"three less than" is subtraction, as is the term difference
Putting it all together, we have
7 - (15 + 3x) = (9 - 5x) - 3
-8 + 3x = 6 - 5x
-8 = 6 - 8x
-14 = -8x
14/8 = 7/4 = x
