Question

How can one sixthx − 5 = one fifthx + 2 be set up as a system of equations?

6y − x = −30
5y − x = 10
5y + x = −30
5y + x = 10
6y − 6x = −30
5y − 5x = 10
5y + 5x = −30
5y + 5x = 10
@Directrix plz help me

Answer 1

put x = -210

Answer 2

take like terms on one side and solve for x @iamabarbiegirl

Answer 3

would it be A?

Answer 4

yes it is @ @iamabarbiegirl

Answer 5

A

Answer 6

correct ! @iamabarbiegirl

Answer 7

yeah 1/6 x -5=1/5x+2

Answer 8

@Directrix

Answer 9

this is the correct problem

Answer 10

@iamabarbiegirl
take equation 1 that is this 1/6 x -5 and put it equal to y,
we get...
1/6 x -5 =y which is equal to 6y − x = −30

take equation 2 that is this 1/5x+2 and put it equal to y,
we get...
1/5x+2 =y which is equal to 5y − x = 10

and hence the answer is A...
they have just equated the equation with y...
when u equal y from both equations ... u get 1/6 x -5=1/5x+2

Answer 11

and ofcourse Yes th question is correct...
thats why I agreed with your answer @iamabarbiegirl

Answer 12

yeah im just confused now haha i just wanna really make sure its correct

Answer 13

y = (1/6) x - 5 and y = (1/5) x + 2

6y = x - 30 and 5y = x + 10

Answer 14

Those are the same as this:

6y − x = −30, 5y − x = 10

which is set A.

Answer 15

yayyyy so my answer was right?!?!

Answer 16

Yes, A. Sorry it took me so long to get with the program.
