Question

How can 1/5x – 2 = y and 1/3x + 8 = y be set up as a system of equations? (5 points)


a. 5y – 5x = –10
3y – 3x = 24
b. 5y – 5x = –10
3y + 3x = 24
c. 5y + x = –10
3y + x = 24
d. 5y – x = –10
3y – x = 24

Answer 1

I will medal anyone who solves this correctly

Answer 2

Ok, hold on.

Answer 3

How many answers are there?

Answer 4

Sorry, this is a test and i'm not allowed to help on tests..... hears a medal anyway.

Answer 5

@Thadds2003 I already answered it I just want to see how it is solved

Answer 6

@perl @Michele_Laino can you show me?

Answer 7

how is right ?

1
---x-2 = y
5

1
--x+8 = y
3

in this way is correct wrote ?

Answer 8

than right so will get

x-5*2 =5y
x+8*3=3y

rearranging them like a system will get

x-5y=10
x-3y=-24

hope so much that this will help you

Answer 9

it is written as 1/5x-2=y and 1/3x+8=y, i dont know if that changes your answer or not.

Answer 10

so this mean that 5x-2 and 3x+8 are denominators ?

Answer 11

yes, sorry I should write it as (1/5)x-2 and (1/3)x+8

Answer 12

it doesnt mean that 5x-2 and 3x+8 are denominators my bad.

Answer 13

so this mean that ,,not" is right how i have thought it and how i have made my calculi there above


a. 5y – 5x = –10
3y – 3x = 24
b. 5y – 5x = –10
3y + 3x = 24
c. 5y + x = –10
3y + x = 24
d. 5y – x = –10
3y – x = 24


x-5y=10 than rewrite this -5y+x=10 and multiplie both sides by -1 what will get
x-3y=-24 and same this too like the first

- try it please and check the choice d.

Answer 14

@jhonyy9 thank you so much. sorry for making it harder than it had to be lol.

Answer 15

was my pleasure

anytime than i m here
