Answer:
If this is what I think it is then your answer is 4x + 8 = -20
The distribution property is the best justification.
3/10 times 2/3 3 times 2 is 5 and 10 times 3 is 30 5/30 a
Answer:
(3,-4) or x=3 and y= -4
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to solve this by substitution
We first need to get a variable by itself in one of the two equations (it doesn't matter which variable and the equation you do the work on doesn't matter either)
I'm going to solve for y in the second equation
-4x-4y=4
add 4y and subtract 4 from both sides to get
-4x-4=4y
Divide by 4 to get
-x-1=y
We can plug this value in for y into the first equation and get
4x+5(-x-1)= -8
Solve for x
4x-5x-5= -8
-x-5= -8
-x= -3
x=3
We can plug this value into one of the first two equations and solve for y
4(3)+5y= -8
12+5y= -8
5y= -20
y= -4
Therefore the solution is (3,-4) or x=3 and y= -4
