x - 2y - 9 is an expression, not an equation. An expression cannot have an answer.
Solving for y: 5y = 9 + 2y 5y - 2y = 9 3y = 9 y = 9/3 = 3
x-(x-2y)+z=-9 3y-2z=4 2x+y+5z=-5 x-(x-2y)+z=-9 --distribute negative through bracket--> x-x+2y+z=-9 x-x+2y+z=-9 --combine like terms (x)--> 2y+z=-9 2y+z=-9 --isolate z--> z=-9-2y substitute z into second equation: 3y-2(-9-2y)=4 --multiply -2 through bracket--> 3y+18+4y=4 3y+18+4y=4 --subtract 18 from both sides--> 3y+4y=-14 3y+4y=-14 --combine like terms--> 7y=-14 7y=-14 --divide both sides by 7--> y=-2 Substitute value of y into simplified first equation: z=-9-2(-2) --multiply through the bracket--> z=-9+4 z=-9+4 --combine like terms--> z=-5 Substitute values of y and z into third equation: 2x+(-2)+5(-5)=-5 --multiply through brackets--> 2x-2-25=-5 2x-2-25=-5 --combine like terms--> 2x-27=-5 2x-27=-5 --add 27 to both sides--> 2x=22 2x=22 --divide both sides by 2--> x=11 x=11, y=-2, z=-5
The equation "x plus 2y equals 5" is: x + 2y = 5 2y = 5 - x y = 5/2 - 1/2x y = -1/2x + 5/2
3x = 2y + 3 3x -3 = 2y +3 -3 3x - 3 = 2y (3x -3)/2 = 2y / 2 y = 1/2 x (3x - 3) 3x = 2y +3 3x - 3x = -3x +2y +3 0 = -3x +2y +3 -1 x (0) = -1 x (-3x +2y +3) 0 = 3x - 2y -3
