Use the linear combination method to solve the system of equations. Explain each step of your solution. 5x - y -= 3
x + 2y = 5

1)y=-3+5x

2)y=5/2-1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

for both equations

1) get your y by it self (subtract -5x and your new equation is now -y=-5x+3)

2)(reminder y can't be negative if it is negative) then you divide by -1 of both sides

3) your equation should now be y=5x-3

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5

this is not the answer this is just a question. is this middle school math?
