Answer 9

the draw thing is too hard to ima just tell you-

Answer 16

so now you are left with -13x=-23 (sense we subtracted the 5 we had with the -28

Answer 17

now you subtract -13 on both sides

Answer 18

-13 cancels out, just leaving a x

Answer 19

Answer 20

but -13 will still cancel out, leaving 1x, which we can say is just x

Answer 21

now divide -23 by -13

Answer 22
