4x - 5y = -15
y = -3x + 22
Plug in your y= equation into the y variable in the other equation
4x - 5 (y) = -15
^^
y = (-3x + 22) = -15
4x - 5 (-3x + 22) = -15
Distribute
4x + 15x - 110 = -15
Combine like terms and add 110 over to -15
19x = 95
Then, divide the whole equation by 19
x = 5
Then, plug in your x into your y= equation
y = -3 (5) + 22
y = -15 + 22
y = 7
<em><u>x = 5</u></em>
<em><u>y = 7</u></em>
<em><u>(5, 7)</u></em>
Answer:
The moon equals 7
and the stars equal 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation 1:
(substitute the symbols for the numbers)
7 + 1 = 4 + 4 (<< This is correct, both sides equal 8)
Equation 2:
(again, substitute the symbols)
7 = 3 + 4
That is correct.
