Twice a number plus three times a second number is negative one. The first number plus four times the second number is two.

The first number is -2 and the second number is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

2n + 3s = -1

(n + 4s = 2)-2             Multiply by -2 to cancel the n

2n + 3s = -1

-2n - 8s = -4               Add these equations together

-5s = -5                      Divide both sides by -5

s = 1

Plug this into the first equation to find the value of n

2n + 3(1) = -1              Multiply

2n + 3 = -1

     - 3    - 3                Subtract 3 from both sides

2n = -4                       Divide both sides by 2

n = -2

in the math equation 8 x 7 = 56, the 8 and the 7 are both factors of 56, since in this lesson we will use square tiles to figure out the factors of a whole find as many different arrays as you can, but follow one important rule: all the rows must have the i can make two rows of nine, so 2 and 9 are both factors of 18.
