step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

step-by-step explanation:

for exempl this   system of equations   y = x - 3

                                                                y = 2x - 5

look   the line : y = x -3     ( red)

                            the line : y = 2x -5 ( bleus)
