Y = 2x - 5
3x + 8y + 32 = 56
3x + 8(2x - 5) + 32 = 56
3x + 8(2x) - 8(5) + 32 = 56
3x + 16x - 40 + 32 = 56
19x - 8 = 56
<u> + 8 + 8</u>
<u>19x</u> = <u>64</u>
19 19
x = 3.4
y = 2(3.4) - 5
y = 6.8 - 5
y = 1.8
(x, y) = (3.4, 1.8)
You solve an equation like this by adding the opposite of the constant to both sides of the equation.
... V -16 +16 = -32 +16 . . . . . addition property of equality: if a=c, then a+b = c+b
... V + 0 = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . additive inverse property of integers: -16+16 = 0
... V = -16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . identity element of addition: V+0 = V
_____
<em>You can always do the same thing to both sides of an equation.</em> Here, it is useful to add the opposite of -16 to both sides. That way the constant on the left becomes zero, so you only have the variable by itself—which is what you want.
