Answer:

x=–4, y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

adding the 2 equations, we see the X's go away and we are left with: 10y=10. we can simplify and solve for y by dividing both sides by 10 and we are left with y=1

plugging 'y=1' into the fist equation we get: -7x+6=34. we can now solve for x by subtracting 6 from both sides and dividing both side by –7, so we are left with: x=–4

we can check by plugging both x and y into one of the original equations:

-7(-4)+6(1)=34

28+6=34

34=34✓

Martin uses 5/8 of a gallon of paint to cover 4/5 of a wall. What is the unit rate at which Martin paints in walls per gallon?

Tanya [424]

Remember, (a/b)/(c/d)=(a/b)(d/c)=(ad)/(bc)

so

walls per gallon
4/5 wall per 5/8 gallon
(4/5)/(5/8)
(4/5)(8/5)
32/25
1.28
the unit rate is 1.28 walls per gallon

Complete the explanation of the procedure that can be used to solve 5[3(x + 4) − 2(1 − x)] − x − 15 = 14x + 55. Then solve the e

Answer:

x = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

5[3(x + 4) − 2(1 − x)] − x − 15 = 14x + 55

5[3x + 12 - 2 + 2x] - x - 15 = 14x + 55

5[5x + 10] - x - 15 = 14x + 55

25x + 50 - x - 15 = 14x + 55 Now we subtract 14x from both sides:

25x + 50 - x - 15 - 14x = 14x - 14x + 55
