Answer:
x=17/4
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-3)/(x+2)=1/5
cross product
1(x+2)=5(x-3)
x+2=5x-15
5x-x-15=2
4x-15=2
4x=2+15
4x=17
x=17/4
Answer:
151434/358 = 423
Step-by-step explanation:
Every product with non-zero factors can be written as an equivalent division relation.
a·b = c ⇒ a = c/b
Here, we have 35.8 × 4.23 = 151.434. This can be written as the equivalent ...
4.23 = 151.434/35.8
We can multiply this by 100 to get a division relation with a quotient of 423:
423 = 15143.4/35.8
If we want, we can move the decimal points another place to the right to get ...
151434/358 = 423

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x-y=7
-3x+9y=-39
Divide the second equation by 3
-x +3y = -13
Add this to the first equation
x-y=7
-x +3y = -13
----------------------
0x +2y = -6
Divide by 2
2y/2 = -6/2
y = -3
Now find x
x-y = 7
x -(-3) = 7
x+3 = 7
Subtract 3 from each side
x = 4
(4,-3)
Or by substitution
x-y=7
solve for x
x = 7+y
-3x+9y=-39
Substitute y+7 in for x
-3(7+y) +9y = -39
Distribute
-21 -3y +9y = -39
Combine like terms
-21 +6y = -39
Add 21 to each side
6y = -18
