Question

3x - 2t = 4
2x -5 = -t

Answer 1

3x - 2t = 4
2x -5 = -t

3x - 2t = 4
3x-2t+2t=4+2t
3x=2t+4
x=(2/3)t+(4/3)

2x-5=-t
2[(2/3)t+(4/3)]-5=-t
(4/3)t+(8/3)-5=-t
(8/3)-5=-(7/3)t
-7/3=-7/3t
t=1

2x -5 = -t
2x -5 = (1)
2x-5+5=1+5
2x=6
x=3


t=1
x=3

3x - 2t = 4
2x -5 = -t

3x - 2t = 4
3x-2t+2t=4+2t
3x=2t+4
x=(2/3)t+(4/3)

2x-5=-t
2[(2/3)t+(4/3)]-5=-t
(4/3)t+(8/3)-5=-t
(8/3)-5=-(7/3)t
-7/3=-7/3t
t=1

2x -5 = -t
2x -5 = (1)
2x-5+5=1+5
2x=6
x=3


t=1
x=3
