the opposite or addictive increase of 5x is -5x.
the opposite or addictive increase of 5x + 8 is -5x -8.
If you are solving for X then we have to do a few process
What you would want most is to remove the parentheses, so to do that i would use distributive property
3*2x is 6x and 3*3 is 9 so our new equation will look like
6x+9=15 if you don't understand please tell me
now we must bring the 9 over
If you bring the 9 over than it would become negative
6x=15-9
so 6x=6
and now you can solve the answer is x=1
Answer: -2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2y=16
x+y=4 multiply by -2
-2x-2y=-8
3x+2y=16 ------a
-2x-2y=-8 -------b
Add equation a and b
(3x+-2x)+(2y+-2y) = 16+(-8)
x+0=8 (y has been eliminated)
Answer: x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
2y + x = -15
y = 2x
2y = 2(2x) = 4x
4x + x = -15
5x = -15
x = -3
