You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Can you help me with this problem? If you can show me the steps by step I think I can help my daughter with her homework.
\n" ); document.write( "y = 5x - 10
\n" ); document.write( "y = 3x + 8
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Since both 5x-10 and 3x+8 are equal to \"y\", they must be
\n" ); document.write( "equal to each other. That gives you an equation with one
\n" ); document.write( "variable.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "5x-10= 3x+8
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 3x from both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2x-10 = 8
\n" ); document.write( "Add 10 to both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 18
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 2 to solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Since y = 3x+8, y = 3*2+8, y = 6+8, y=14
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Final Solution: (9,14)
\n" ); document.write( "============================
