Answer: The numbers are: <u>x = 34, y = 12</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say the numbers are x and y. The two equations are:

x+y=46

x= 3y-2

Next you use substitution for x in the first equation which brings you to

3y-2 + y = 46 which simplyfies to:

4y - 2 = 46

4y = 48

48 / 4 = 12

y = 12

Then you plug back y=12 in either of the equation to solve for x:

x = 3y - 2

x = 3(12) - 2   = 36 - 2 = 34

x = 34, y = 12

How much times can 6 go into 48
DENIUS [597]
6 can go into 48 8 times. How I figured out?
Start multiplying from a small number like
6×6= 36
6×7=42
6×8= 48
until you see your number 48, or a number that is lower that 48, but can not go any higher than 48.

Y= -x +3 and y = x - 1
inysia [295]

Answer:

x=2 and y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite equations:

y=−x+3;y=x−1

Step: Solve

y=−x+3

Step: Substitute−x+3foryiny=x−1:

y=x−1

−x+3=x−1

−x+3+−x=x−1+−x(Add -x to both sides)

−2x+3=−1

−2x+3+−3=−1+−3(Add -3 to both sides)

−2x=−4−2x−2=−4−2

(Divide both sides by -2)

x=2

Step: Substitute2forxiny=−x+3:

y=−x+3

y=−2+3

y=1(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Hope this Helps you :)
