Equation 1)  x = 3y - 6
Equation 2)  2x - 4y = 8

Subtract 3y from both sides of the first equation.

1)  x - 3y = -6

Then, multiply all of the first equation by 2.

1)  2(x - 3y = -6)

1)  2x - 6y = -12
2)  2x - 4y = 8

Subtract equations.

-2y = -20

Divide both sides by -2.

y = 10

Plug in 10 for y in the first equation.

x = 3y - 6

x = 3(10) - 6

x = 30 - 6

x = -24

(10,24)

Hello

x = 3y - 6
2x - 4y = 8
We need to start by solving 3y - 6 for x
Substitute 3y -6 for x in 2x
2x - 4y = 8
2(3y - 6) - 4y = 8
2y - 12 = 8
2y = 8 + 12
2y = 20
Divide both sides by 2
2y/2 = 20/2
y = 10

Now, substitute 10 for y in x= 3y
x = 3y - 6
x = 3(10) - 6
x = 30 - 6
x= 24

Answer : x = 24 and y=10

I hope this help!

List the kinds of measurements have you worked with so far. Describe what area is. Describe what volume is.
OverLord2011 [107]
1. i’m not sure what you have worked with.
2. area is how much space is within a 2D shape.
3. Volume is the amount of mass that a 3D shape takes up.
4. You find the combined area of a 3D shape by finding the individual area of each shapes on the outside of the 3D shape and then add them up.
5. i’m not sure what you mean by “give an example of why that would be a good measurement to know”

Solve each equation y-6.72=253
diamong [38]
You just need to have the variable by itself, so move the -6.72 to the other side (that will make it +6.72)
So you should have this equation now: y = 253+6.72
Then just add them and you have this: y = 259.72
And that is your answer!
