x = 7.33333 \dots

Solution steps

\frac{3}{4} (x - 8) = - \frac{1}{2}

Multiply both sides by

4

3 (x - 8) = - 2

Divide both sides by

3

x - 8 = - \frac{2}{3}

to the right side

x = \frac{22}{3}

\frac{1}{10} (x + 50) = - 3 x - 13 + 4 x

\frac{x + 1}{2} + \frac{x + 3}{3} = 9

x, 4 x + 6 y = - 12

\frac{x}{3} + 2 = \frac{1}{2} + x

y, x = 8 - 2 y
