So y+x=2
x-y=4
one way is subsituteion where yousubisutte one of the number for another exg

x-y=4
add y to both sides
x=y+4
subsitute y+4 for x in x+y=2
 y+4+y=2
2y+4=2
subtract 4 from both sides
2y=-2
divide both sides by 2
y=-1
subsiutte
x+y=2
x-1=2
x=3




or elimination

x+y=2
x-y=4
add the two equations and cancel the y terms

x+x+y-y=2+4
2x=6
divide both sides by 2
x==3
subsitute
x+y=2
3+y=2
y=-1


so x=3
y=-1

Can the statement be written as a biconditional statement and why?????
Gwar [14]

No. Writing it as a biconditional would mean that "If a number is odd, then it is a prime number" is also true. The original statement is true, but the converse is false.

What is the value of x?<br><br><br><br> 3x−8=8x+4/2<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

3x -8 =8x +4/2

3x -8 =8x +2

3x -3x -8 = 8x -3x +2 (subtract 3x both sides )

-8 = 5x +2

-8-2 =5x+2 -2  (subtract 2 both sides )

-10 =5x

-10/5 = 5x/5 (divide 5 both sides)

-2 = x
