Mr. Berger assigned the following system of equations to be solved for homework.

2 x minus 3 y = negative 12. 4 x + y = negative 10.

Which is the x-coordinate of the correct solution?
x = negative 3
x = negative one-fifth
x = StartFraction 9 Over 7 EndFraction
x = 2

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 3y = -12 (i)

4x + y = -10 (ii)

Multiply the (ii) equation by 3 and then add the two equations. So, now y will be eliminated and you will get the value of x

(i)                   2x - 3y   = -12

(ii) * 3             12x + 3y = -30

                     14x         = - 42

x = -42/14

x = -3

you should at least use a calculater

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be 1 1/72

step-by-step explanation:

you can rewrite the equation by separating the parts and then solving individually:

10-9=1

1/8 - 1/9=

find l c d and then combine:

1 1/72
