(hopefully I read this right)

-5 1/4 - (-7 1/2)

-5 1/4 - -7 1/2

-5 1/4 - -7 2/4

-21/4 - -30/4

-21/4 - -30/4 = 9/4 = 2 1/4

Hopefully I am correct!

−1/2 (x+2) + 112x = 3<br><br> x=?
AysviL [449]

Given equation :−1/2 (x+2) + 112x = 3

We have -1/2 in front of parenthesis on left side .

It's better to remove fraction in an equation, in order make it easier to solve.

In order to remove 2 from denominator of 2, we need to multiply each and every term by 2.

Multiplying each term in the equation by 2, we get

2* −1/2(x+2) +2* 112x = 2*3.

On simplifying this step, we get

-1(x+2) +224x = 6.

Distributing -1 over (x+2), we get

-x -2 +224x = 6

Combining like terms on left side, -x+224x=223x

223x -2 = 6

Adding 2 on both sides, we get

223x -2+2 = 6+2

223x = 8

Dividing both sides by 223, we get

223x/223 = 8/223.

x= 8/223.

Where y=5x-7 and -3x-2y=-12 Write your answer as x,y
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

(x,y) = (2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=5x-7                  (i)

-3x-2y= -12          

-(3x+2y)= -12

3x+2y= 12            (ii)

By putting the value of y from (i) in (ii)

3x+2(5x-7)=12

3x+10x-14=12

13x=12+14

13x= 26

x = \frac{26}{13}

x= 2

By putting the value of x in (i)

y= 5(2)-7

y= 10-7

y= 3

(x,y) = (2,3)
