Answer:
y = 5/3
x = 8/3
Steps:
y = x - 1
2x + y = 7
Substitute y = x-1
(2x + x - 1 = 7)
Simplify: 3x - 1 = 7
Isolate x: 3x - 1 = 7: x=8/3
Plug the valuse of x into the other equation (y = x- 1): y = 8/3 - 1
8/3 - 1 = 5/3
y = 5/3
y = 5/3, x = 8/3
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/4 (2x + 8) = -6
Multiply both sides by -4.
2x + 8 = 24
Subtract 8 from both sides.
2x = 16
Divide both sides by 2.
x = 8
