We write to expressions since there are two unknown here which is x and y. The first expression is the <span>sum of two numbers, x and y, is 12.

x + y = 12

The second expression is that the </span><span>difference of x and two times y is 6.

x -2y = 6

Therefore, the values of x and y are 10 and 2.</span>

Answer:

The values of x= 10 and y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume x>y

The first statement states that sum of two numbers,  x and y, is 12

then, we can write this statement in algebraic expression:

x+y =12   ...[1]

The second statement states that the difference of x and two times y is 6.

we can write it as :

x -2y =6    ....[2]

Now, subtracting equations, we  will eliminate x leaving an equation in y that we can solve:

⇒ [1]-[2] gives

(x+y)-(x-2y) = 12-6

or

x+y-x+2y = 6

On simplify we get;

3y=6 or

y=2

Now, substitute the value of y=2 in equation [1] we get;

x+2=12

On simplify, we get;

x =10

therefore, the values of  x and y are, 10 and 2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

w / h = u / HG

w = 8

h = 48

u = 5

lets use  h / w  = HG / u   this is the same relationship but looks easier to me

48/8 = HG / 5

6 = HG / 5

6 * 5 = HG

30 = HG

not too tuff... when you set the relationship so it's easiest  :)

and yes.. we cold have swapped the fractions and done it the other way and gotten the same answer.. but maybe with a bit more algebra.. and... avoid extra algebra ... that's where the mistakes can be made  :P
