Answer:
-2=x
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+12=-2x
Subtract 4x on both sides
12=-6x
Divided by -6 on both sides
-2=x
I dont see a question that i can anwser i need more information
Answer:
Option D The solution of the system is the point (-3,5)
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
x+y=2 -----> equation A
y=-2x-1 ------> equation B
Solve the system by substitution
Substitute the equation B in equation A and solve for x
x+(-2x-1)=2
-x-1=2
x=-2-1
x=-3
Find the value of y
y=-2x-1
y=-2(-3)-1
y=5
therefore
The solution of the system is the point (-3,5)
I would say a but not 100% sure.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the weights of the large and small boxes, respectively. The problem statement gives rise to the system of equations ...
x + y = 85 . . . . . combined weight of a large and small box
70x +50y = 5350 . . . . combined weight of 70 large and 50 small boxes
We can subtract 50 times the first equation from the second to find the weight of a large box.
(70x +50y) -50(x +y) = (5350) -50(85)
20x = 1100 . . . . simplify
x = 55 . . . . . . . divide by 20
Using this in the first equation, we can find the weight of a small box.
55 +y = 85
y = 30 . . . . . . . subtract 55
A large box weighs 55 pounds; a small box weighs 30 pounds.
