Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
12x+252=324
Subtract 252 from each side
12x+252-252=324-252
12x =72
Divide each side by 12
12x/12 = 72/12
x =6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
this is a simultaneous equation question
f(1)=8 so a(1) + b = 8
f(4)=17 so a(4) + b = 17
can you figure this out from here ???
if you can't below is how to solve it

a + b = 8
4a+b=17
multiply the top equation by 4 and then subtract the bottom one from the top
4a+4b = 32
-(4a +b = 17)
3b = 15
b=5
now plug 5 into the first equation
a + 5 = 8
a=3
there you go :)
Make the coefficient of y the same in both equations:
To do this, multiply equation one by 2, and equation two by 5 (this will make the coefficient 10 in both).
14x + 10y = 38
-35x - 10y = -80
Eliminate the y variable by adding the equations from each other
(14x + 10y = 38)
+ (-35x - 10y = -80)
= -21x + 0y = -42
We now have -21x = -42. The y variable has been eliminated.
Solve for x
-21x = -42
Divide both sides by -21 to get x on its own.
x = 2
Substitute x into the equation to find y.
7*2+5y=19
14+5y=19
Subtract 14 from both sides.
5y=19-14
5y=5
Divide by 5 on both sides to get y on its own.
y=5/5
y=1
The answer is (2,1)
