How do I solve the symptoms of linear equations by substitution
2x-y=23
x-9=-1

x = 8, y = -7

in coordinate form: (8,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

first, find x using the second equation:

x - 9 = -1

add 9 to both sides of the equation

x - 9 + 9 = - 1 + 9

x = -1 + 9

x = 8

next, substitute x for 8 in the first equation:

2x - y = 23

2 * 8 - y = 23

16 - y = 23

16 - y + y = 23 + y

16 = 23 + y

16 - 23 = y

y = -7

also, I had this exact question on an assignment earlier today ahah

answer: 1722

step-by-step explanation:

given: the mass of saturn=

the mass of mercury=

the number of times the mass of saturn is greater than the mass of mercury

hence, the mass of saturn is 1722 times greater than the mass of mercury.

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
