If the equation is (-9-7)x = -5, then x= .3125 or 5/16 If the equation is -9-7x = -5, then x = -.571428 or -4/7
Is this a system of equations? 2X + 5Y = 4 X + 5Y = 7 solve for X using bottom equation X = 5Y - 7 insert into top equation 2(5Y - 7) + 5Y = 4 distribute 10Y - 14 + 5Y = 4 solve for Y 15Y = 18 Y = 18/15 = 6/5 use bottom equation to find X X +5(6/5) = 7 X = 1 check with bottom equation 1 + 5(6/5) = 7 7 = 7 not true for top equation ( sorry, I forgot what happens then-resubmit question )
