Question

3x+1/2=1/8x-17 solve step by step​

Answer 1

Answer:

2(3x−4y)

−6x+8y

=−2(1)

=−2

Multiply the second equation by−2

Simplify to get a new equation

6x+5y+ −6x+8y13y=28=−2=26Equation 1The new equation

Step 3: Solve for yyy.

\begin{aligned} 13y &= 26\\\\ y&= 2&\gray{\text{Divide each side by 13}}\end{aligned}

13y

y

=26

=2

Divide each side by 13

\begin{aligned} 3x - 4y &= 1 &\gray{\text{Equation 2}} \\\\ 3x -4(2) &= 1 &\gray{\text{Substitute 2 for y}} \\\\ 3x -8 &= 1 \\\\ 3x &= 9 &\gray{\text{Add 8 to each side}} \\\\ x &= 3 &\gray{\text{Divide each side by 3}} \end{aligned}

3x−4y

3x−4(2)
