## anonymous one year ago How can 1/6x − 5 = 1/5x + 2 be set up as a system of equations?

Are you solving for x?

2. Astrophysics

You just gave 1 equation

3. anonymous

@Astrophysics 1. 6 y − x = −30 5y − x = 10 2. 5y + x = −30 5y + x = 10 3. 6y − 6x = −30 5y − 5x = 10 4. 5y + 5x = −30 5y + 5x = 10

4. Astrophysics

One problem at a time.

I don't understand, what exactly is the question

7. anonymous

To rewrite y= 1/6x-5 and y=1/5x+2 as a system of equations

8. anonymous

I got A :)

9. anonymous

ohh

10. Astrophysics

It's already a system of equation, but I see you just want to simplify it.

11. Astrophysics

So you have $y=\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }x-5$ so setting it up as they've showed you, so first move 1/6x to the left side how do you do that

12. anonymous

1/6x=1/6x-5 ?

13. Astrophysics

?

14. anonymous

did you see the answer choices?

15. Astrophysics

Yes

16. anonymous

was A right?

17. Astrophysics

So for your first one you have $y-\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }x=-5$

18. Astrophysics

Honestly, if you're not interested in the process tell me now.

19. anonymous

No, not really :) Sorry

20. Astrophysics

Ok then, good luck!
