Question 117195: Solve the equation:
3(x-0.87) -2x = 4.98
What I got:
3x-2.61-2x = 4.98
1x-2.61 = 4.98
1x-2.61+2.61 = 4.98+2.61
1x = 7.59
1x/1 = 7.59/1
x = 7.59

Question 117285: Solve for y:

y + 1/2 = -1/3 (x + 1/2)
What I have done:
y + 1/2 = -1/3x + 1/2 * -1/3
y + 1/2 = - 1/3x -2/6 (THIS SHOULD BE -1/6)
y + 1/2 - 1/2 = - 1/3 x - 2/6 - 1/2
y = - 1/3x + 10/12
y = - 1/3x + 5/6
y = - 1/3x / -1/3 + 5/6 / -1/3
y = x -15/6

Question 118133: Find the values for m and b in the following system so that the solution to the system is (-3,4). 5x + 7y =b and mx + y =22. First; 5x+7y=b, =>5(-3)+7(4)=b,
=>-15+28=b, =>13=b. Now this one; mx + y=22; =>m(-3)+4=22, =>-3m=22-4=18,
=>-3m=18, =>m=18/(-3), =>m=-6. So then b=13 and m=-6.
I just want to know if I am correct please?
