It is (5 and minus1).
5x+6-2x=-5-x 3x+6=-5-x 4x=-11 x=11/-4
(x + 4) + (x + 5) = 2x + 9
3x+5=4-2x+6 5x=4-1 5x=3 x=3/5

It is (5 and minus1).
8 + 6 - 5 x 4 =8 + 6 - (5 x 4) =8 + 6 - (20) = 14 - 20 = -6
5x+6-2x=-5-x 3x+6=-5-x 4x=-11 x=11/-4
minus 5
(x + 4) + (x + 5) = 2x + 9
3x+5=4-2x+6 5x=4-1 5x=3 x=3/5
solving for the x variable given that x2-6x+5=0 factoring the polynomial gives (x-1)(x-5)=0 which leaves you with your two answers, x=1, 5 or you could have used the quadratic equation x = [ -(-6) plus/minus sqrt( (-6)2 - 4*1*5 ) ] / (2*1) x = [ 6 plus/minus sqrt( 36-20 ) ] / 2 x = [ 6 plus/minus 4 ] / 2 x = 3 plus/minus 2 x = 5, 1
x + 5 + 4 = x + 9
5/2 = 2.5 x -4 = -10 + 4 = -6
x + y = 6 so that -x = y - 6 -x + 3y = -2 that is, y - 6 + 3y = -2 or 4y = 4 or y = 1 and then -x = y - 6 = -5 so that x = 5
