Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Identify
4x - 5y = 21
y = -4
Step 2: Solve for x
- Substitute in y: 4x - 5(-4) = 21
- Multiply: 4x + 20 = 21
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 20 on both sides: 4x = 1
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 4 on both sides: x = 1/4
Answer:
1/4 (One over Four)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. Multiply -5 with -4 (Negitive x Negitive is always Positive!).
Step 2. Subtract 20 (From step 1) from 21.
