What is the x-value of the solution to the linear system below?

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of linear simultaneous equations is expressed as

y = - 6x + 33- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

y = 6x - 27- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -2

We would apply the method of substitution by substituting equation 2 into equation 1. It becomes

6x - 27 = - 6x + 33

Adding 6x to the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

6x + 6x - 27 = - 6x + 6x + 33

12x - 27 = 33

Adding 27 to the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

12x - 27 + 27 = 33 + 27

12x = 60

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 12, it becomes

12x/12 = 60/12

x = 5

tip $2.90

total $17.40

hi there!

not proportional because the 42 does not go into 120 and 3 does not go into 8.

correct proportion: $40/1 ticket.

the reason i say this is because 40/1 is simplified and it evenly goes into 120/3.

hope this : )
