It works out that the solutions are: x = 3 and y = 2
7(3y-2)-(-4y+9)
5x -3y = 23 7x - 4y = 33 This is simultanreous equations. Arbitrarily decide which letter to eliminate. In this case 'y' To do this multiply the top eq'n by '-4' and the bottom by '3' Hence -20x + 12y = -92 21x - 12y = 99 Add the two eq'ns. This will eliminate 'y' x = 7 Substitute into either eq'n for 'y' 49 - 4y = 33 -4y = - 16 y = 4 Hence (x,y) = ( 7,4)
8x-1 = 7x+2 Add 1 to both sides: 8x = 7x+3 Subtract 7x from both sides: 1x = 3 ie x = 3
y > 3 Treat the greater than sign [a bit] like an equals sign to solve: 4y - 3 > 9 ⇒ 4y > 12 [add 3 to each side] ⇒ y > 3 [divide each side by 4]
It works out that the solutions are: x = 3 and y = 2
3x - 2y + 7x + 4y = 3x + 7x - 2y +4y = (3+7)x + (-2+4)y = 10x + 2y
It works out that: x = 3 and y = 2
7(3y-2)-(-4y+9)
Add 3 to 46 then divide by 7.

5x -3y = 23 7x - 4y = 33 This is simultanreous equations. Arbitrarily decide which letter to eliminate. In this case 'y' To do this multiply the top eq'n by '-4' and the bottom by '3' Hence -20x + 12y = -92 21x - 12y = 99 Add the two eq'ns.

Add the two equations and get 4x = 12 so x = 3 and y = -1
8x-1 = 7x+2 Add 1 to both sides: 8x = 7x+3 Subtract 7x from both sides: 1x = 3 ie x = 3
7Y = 33-4Y ( add 4Y to both sides of equation ) 11Y = 33 ( divide both sides of equation by 11 ) Y = 3

y > 3 Treat the greater than sign [a bit] like an equals sign to solve: 4y - 3 > 9 ⇒ 4y > 12 [add 3 to each side] ⇒ y > 3 [divide each side by 4]
