First distribute 3 to (x-4). that gives you 3x-12. Now your equation is x-2=3x-12. Now you subtract x from 3x. now you're equation is -2=2x-12. then add 12 to the left. You're final answer is 10.

X-2=3x-4. Solve for x by first subtracting x from the left side (you want to keep x positive if you can). You then have -2=2x-4. Subtract four to help get x by itself and you have -6=2x. Divide by 2 and your answer is -3=x.

Solve the following system of equations:

SIZIF [17.4K]

$xy = 4 \\ 2y = x - 6 \\ \\ xy = 4 \\ x = 6 + 2y$

$(6 + 2y)y = - 4 \\ {y}^{2} + 3y + 2 = 0 \\ d = {3}^{2} - 4 \times 2 = 9 - 8 = 1 = {1}^{2}$

$y = \dfrac{ - 3 + 1}{2} = - 1 \\ \\ y = \dfrac{ - 3 - 1}{2} = - 2$

$- 2x = - 4 \\ x = 2 \\ \\ - x = - 4 \\ x = 4$

Answer: B) (2; -2), (4; -1)
