Are there any parenthesis? I think you might have skipped out on them.
Multiply you first equation by 2 to get 4x + 10y = 22
Now the x terms can be eliminated and cancelled out using elimination.
4x + 10y = 22
4x + 3y = 1
To eliminate you need to "subtract", so you need to multiply one of the equations by -1.
4x + 10y = 22
-4x -3y = -1
------------------
0 + 7y = 21
y = 3
Now plug 3 into either one of the equations to get x.
you would have to divide each side by 2 which would make it x is greater than or equal to 3 hope this helps
Answer:
First we have to find the value of x;
then we have to find the value of y;
Step-by-step explanation:
here,
2x= 12
x = 12\2
x = 6
now,
4y = 12
y = 12\4
y = 3
° the value of x is 6
° ° the value of y is 3
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A line segment parallel to a side of a triangle and intersecting the other 2 sides divides the 2 sides in proportion, that is
= 
= 
( cross- multiply )
8(3x - 20) = 56
24x - 160 = 56 ( add 160 to both sides )
24x = 216 ( divide both sides by 24 )
x = 9
