You need two independent linear equations to solve for two variables, x and y. The most you can do with just one equation is to simplify:
y + 5x = 9
and then write one variable in terms of the other, if that is of any use.
y = 9 - 5x
or
x = (9 - y)/5
-8 + 10x = 18 10x = 18+8 10x = 26 x = 26/10 x = 2.6
(3,21)
10x - 18 = 5x + 2 Add -5x + 18 to both sides of the equation, to get: 5x = 20, from which x = 4.
Subtracting gives: 10x = 80 so x = 8 and y = 5
You never square a whole equation. That's just silly.
10x + 6 = 12x - 18 Subtract 10x from both sides: 6 = 2x - 18 Add 18 to both sides: 24 = 2x Divide both sides by 2: 12 = x Therefore, x = 12
Equality
14 + 18 = 18 + 14 demonstrates the commutative property (of addition).
x2 + 10x = 18 x2 + 2(5)x - 18 = 0 x2 + 2(5)x + 25 = 18 + 25 (x + 5) 2 = 43 x + 5 = 430.5 x=6.56(3sf)-5
72 but there is such a thing as a CALCULATOR
2+14=16
1)set 2-8x equal to 10x+202) like term - add or subtract3)after u combined like terms, move (X) to either side4) now divide, the left over, {x divide the whole number}EX:2-8x=10x+20-20 - -20-18-8x= 10x+8x +8x-18=18xx=-1
