Answers

6x-1/5=3
add 1/5 to both sides
6x=1/5+3
convert 3 to fraction with 5 as denomenatory
3/1 times 5/5=15/5
6x=15/5+1/5
6x=16/5
divide both sides by 6
x=16/5 times 1/6
x=16/30
x=8/15

Solve for x and y
-2x-y=-9
5x-2y=-9

Answers

we use equation 1 first.
-2x -y = -9 

 -y = -9 + 2x

y = 9 -2x

We substitute value of y in equation 2

5x - 2 (9 - 2x) = -9

5x -18 - 4x = -9

5x - 4x = -9 + 18

x = 18 -9

x = 9

We now find the value of y

-2x -y = -9

-2 (9) - y = -9

-18 - y = -9

-y = -9 + 18

y = 9 - 18

y = -9
