is already in simplest form.
But if you meant to say
, we would combine the first two terms.
Adding/subtracting like terms is the same as adding/subtracting whole numbers.
Therefore:
Which gives us:
Yes because
3 is x
And 5 is why so it’s
5 = 2 x 3 - 1
5= 6 -1
Which is 5
Answer:
x subtracted by negative 8 is equal to 14.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
- You would find a value of y to plug into either of the equations. For example, I chose the equation 2x - y = 6. When I set it equal to y, I got y = 2x - 6
- Now that I know what y is equal to, I plugged it into the second equation to get 5x + 10 (2x - 6) = -10
- You then would calculate for x.
- Your end result should be x = 2, which is the point that the two equations intersect
This works because the two equations are set equal to each other, making them share a common value between them.
You can also plug both of these equations into a graphing calculator, and on the graph select the command to calculate the intersection.
Hope this helped!
