2x - 5y = 16
x - 2y = 5
elimination?

Y = 6

X = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

2x -5y = 16

(x -2y =5)*2

2x -5y = 16

2x - 4y = 10

(2x -5y = 16) - (2x - 4y = 10)

0x -y = 6

y =6

Replacing in equation 1:

2x - 5(6) = 16

so, 2x = 16 + 30

2x = 48

x = 24

x= -3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify brackets

4 - x - 1 = 6

step 2: simpilfy

3 - x = 6

step 3: subtract 3 from both sides

-x = 6 - 3

step 4: simpilfy 6 - 3

-x = 3

step 5: multiply both sides by -1

x = -3

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
