Question

please help me!!
how can 1/5x-2=1/3x+8 be set up as a system of equations

Answer 1

do you know what a system of equations is?

Answer 2

yes its two things like y = 3x+2 and y =2x+1

Answer 3

but I don't understand how to do that one

Answer 4

right thus \(\large \bf \cfrac{1}{5}x-2=\cfrac{1}{3}x+8\implies
\begin{cases}
y=\cfrac{1}{5}x-2
\\ \quad \\
\bf y=\cfrac{1}{3}x+8
\end{cases}\)

Answer 5

see thats what I get but my choices arent like that 5y − 5x = −10
3y − 3x = 24

5y − 5x = −10
3y + 3x = 24

5y + x = −10
3y + x = 24

5y − x = −10
3y − x = 24

Answer 6

well, if you multiply ... one sec

Answer 7

multiply what

Answer 8

well... I got rid of the rationals, doesn't give me your choices though

Answer 9

I gather what I would do is, find "x" and "y"
and check it against the given choices

Answer 10

I think it'd be the simpler way to go about it

Answer 11

Okay
