Less than is subtraction so your answer to "six less than a number is 14" would be
n-6=14
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that n = 3m + 6. Substitutte 3m + 6 for n in the second equation, obtaining:
(3m + 6) - 2m = 2, or 3m + 6 - 2m = 2.
Combining like terms yields
m = -4.
Knowing that m = -4 allows us to calculate n. Use the first equation, n = 3m + 6, for this purpose: n = 3(2) + 6 = 12.
Thus, the solution is (2, 12).
Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-5=y
4x-5= -1
4x = -1+5
4x=4
x=1
2x-y=3
2x-(-1)=3
2x+1=3
2x= 3-1
2x= 2
x=1
since the two answers for x are the same therefore:
x = 1
