Answer:

x=4, y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y = 6

x + y = 6

Add these together to eliminate y

2x - y = 6

x + y = 6

-----------------

3x = 12

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 12/3

x=4

But we still need y

x+y =6

4+y =6

Subtract 4 from each side

4+y-4 = 6-4

y=2

Solve 9y = 27 How can you find the value of y

Bumek [7]

You need to divide 9 to both sides in order for y to come alone. So then you would have to divide 27 by 9 and y = 3. Hope this helps!

Solve the system by substitution. 6x + 3y = -6 2x + y = -2

Mariana [72]

Solutions

First Lets solve for this equation $6x + 3y = -6
$

$6x + 3y = -6
$

$6x+3(-2-2x)=-6

 
$

$-6=-6$

Therefore this given equation is a dependent system.

Solve for $2x + y = -2$

$2x+y=-2$

$y=-2-2x

 

 
$

There are too many solutions to these equations.

Answer:

I think the closest would be 41.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take the number of passengers left on the plane and divide by the total number of passengers that were on the plane in the beginning, you would get 58.5%. That's the % of how many people are left on the plane. So, you would then do 100%-58.5% to get the answer 41.5%. Hope this helps! :)
