Marshall is writing an equivalent equation to solve for x. What should be his next step? 5 x + 4 y = 8. 5 x + 4 y minus 4 y = 8 minus 4 y. 5 x = 8 minus 4 y.

Add 5x to both sides of the equation.
Subtract 5x from both sides of the equation.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
Divide both sides of the equation by 5.

$20.01

step-by-step explanation:

the sale price is (1.00 - 0.77)($87), or 0.23($87), or $20.01.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
