5x - 1 = 24
5x - 1 + 1 = 24 + 1
5x = 25
5x/5 = 25/5
x = 5

5x - 7y = 5 (subtract both sides by 5x) -7y = -5x + 5 (divide both sides by -7) y = (5x - 5)/7 If you want to solve for y = 0, then x = 1.
Add 4x - 2 to each side: 5x = 5 x = 1
0
4x - 8 = 5x 1) Add 8 to both sides. 4x - 8 (+ 8) = 5x (+ 8) Becomes 4x = 5x + 8 2) Subtrate 5x from both sides. 4x (- 5x) = 8 Becomes -1x = 8 Reduced to -x = 8 3) Multiply both sides by -1. Becomes x = -8
(1) 5x+y=-12 (2) 7x-3y=-30 From (1) one gets y = -12-5x Put into (2) 7x-3y = 7x -3 (-12-5x) = 7x + 36 +15 x = 22x +36=-30 22x = -30-36 = -66 so x = -3 and y=-12-5x = -12-5x-3= 3 The solution is (-3,3)
