x + y = 3.36 --> the boys are splitting $3.36

x = 3y - .12 --> one boy received $.12 less than 3 times as much as the other

--> substitute the second equation for the x in the first equation

(3y - .12) + y = 3.36 --> combine like terms

4y - .12 = 3.36 --> add .12 to both sides of the equation

4y = 3.48 --> divide both sides by 4

y = .87

the other boy gets $0.87

substitute into x = 3y - 12

x = 3(.87) - .12

x = 2.61 - .12

x = 2.49

the first boy gets $2.49

<h2>Answer: x=-2(-y+4)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+4y=16

Subtract 4y from both sides

-2x+4y-4y=16-4y

Simplify

-2x=16-4y

Divide both sides by -2

-2x/-2=16/-2- 4y/-2

<h2>x=-2(-y+4)</h2>
