−1/5(x−4)=−2 Please help me fast

x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−1/5(x−4)=−2

(−1/5)(x)+(−1/5)(−4)=−2(Distribute)

−1/5x+4/5=−2

Step 2: Subtract 4/5 from both sides.

−1/5x+4/5−4/5=−2−4/5

−1/5x=−14/5

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 5/(-1).

(5/−1)*(−1/5x)=(5/−1)*(−14/5)

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
