Algebra.Com's Answer #46852 by pwac(253)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Substitute the given value of y into the equation 5x + y = 19\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This gives: \n" ); document.write( "5x + 3x-8 = 19 Subtract 5x from both sides \n" ); document.write( "which leaves: \n" ); document.write( "3x-8 = 19-5x\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "which corresponds with statement B)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Peter \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
