Question #2fe97

Answer 1

x= `5/2`

Explanation:

since both equations are equaled to y, just make them equal to each other.

so 3x-2= -x+8

Now just do inverse operations.

So add x to both sides to get

3x+x-2= -8
= 4x-2=8

and now add two to both sides to cancel out the two on the left side.

4x-=8+2
4x=10

now divide both sides by 4
x= `10/4`

and then simplify and that's your answer! (divide the whole thing by 2)

x= `5/2`

hope that helped!
