Answer:
solution: ( 3 , 6 )
Step-by-step explanation:
make y the subject in equation 2:
insert this in equation 1:
solve for y:
Answer:
x = -7 - 17/20 or -157/20
Step-by-step explanation:
2x/3 - 3.2 = -8.1
2x - 9.6 = -24.3
20x - 96 = -243
20x = -157
x = -157/20
x = -7 - 17/20
Answer:
if it's finding x
#1 x<-1
#2 x<4
Step-by-step explanation:
#1
2x-16<-18
add 16 to both sides
2x<-2
then divide 2 to both sides
x<-1
#2
2x-16+4x<8
add like terms
6x-16+<8
add sixteen to both sides
6x<24
divide six to both sides
x<4
<h3>
Answer: x > 2</h3>
Work Shown:
5x - 14x < - 18
-9x < - 18
x > -18/(-9)
x > 2
The inequality sign flips when dividing both sides by a negative number.
Here's another approach you could take.
5x - 14x < - 18
-9x < -18
0 < -18+9x
18 < 9x
9x > 18
x > 18/9
x > 2
It's a slightly longer pathway, but it avoids a sign flip when you divide both sides by the positive number 9.
The sign flip happens two steps earlier when going from 18 < 9x to 9x > 18. In other words, A < B is the same as B > A.
