Question

How can 1/2x − 5 = 1/3x + 6 be set up as a system of equations

Answer 1

it's the y = y idea

for example
if given x+3 = 2x+7

then y = x+3
and y = 2x+7

Answer 2

^^^^^

Answer 3

how is that supposed to help

Answer 4

\(\bf {\color{red}{ y}}=\cfrac{1}{2}x-5\qquad \qquad {\color{red}{ y}}=\cfrac{1}{3}x+6
\\ \quad \\
{\color{red}{ y}}={\color{red}{ y}}\implies ?\)

Answer 5

how Is that suppose to mean

Answer 6

he basically gave you what you wanted...
system of equations: y = 1/2 x - 5 y = 1/3 x + 6

Answer 7

the answer choices are
A. 2y + x = −10
3y + x = 18
B. 2y + 2x = −10
3y + 3x = 18
C. 2y − x = −10
3y − x = 18
D. 2y − 2x = −10
3y − 3x = 18

Answer 8

y = 1/2 x - 5 multiply through by 2



y = 1/3 x + 6 multiply through by 3
