Question

Jesus please help me. I am not getting any right answer and have been asking a lot

How can one fifthx − 2 = one thirdx + 8 be set up as a system of equations?

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 1

One fifth of x is \[\frac{ 1 }{ 5 } \times x\]
one third x is \[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } \times x\]

Answer 2

But this is just one equation and not set of equations. Please see your question again.

Answer 3

I know how its written It's asking how to set up as system of equation and it does not look anything like those

Answer 4

y = 1/5x-2 and y = 1/3x + 8 so you see my problem
