X + y = 61
x = y + 9

Substitute y + 9 in for x in the first equation and then solve.
y + 9 + y = 61
Combine like terms
2y + 9 = 61
Subtract 9 from both sides
2y = 52
Divide both sides by 2
y = 26
y + 9 = 35
26 and 35

If y=-16 when x=4 find x when y=48
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

x= -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this is a direct variation

y = kx

When y = -16 x =4  we can find k

-16 = k*4

Divide each side by 4

-16/4 = 4k/4

-4 =k

So

y = -4k

Y = 48

48 = -4x

Divide each side by -4

48/-4 = -4x/-4

-12 =x
