Answer:
y = 4;
y = 7;
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the rule, y = x/2, find the missing values as shown below:
✔️For the first row, to find y, substitute x = 8 into y = x/2,
y = 8/2
y = 4
✔️For the second row, to find y, substitute x = 14 into y = x/2,
y = 14/2
y = 7
✔️For the third row, to find x, substitute y = 3 into y = x/2,
3 = x/2
3*2 = x
6 = x
x = 6
As x = 5 & z=12,
<span>2/3 = y /(xz) = y/(5*12) </span>
<span>= y/60 </span>
<span>so y / 60 = 2/3 </span>
<span>y = (2*60)/3 </span>
<span>= 40</span>

When using substitution, you want to solve an equation for one variable that doesn’t make the equation worse to work with.
The general idea is that you want to find a variable that has a coefficient of 1 or -1.
In 2.5x - 7y = 7.5, both variables have “bad” coefficients.
In 6.2x - y = 1, the y has a coefficient of -1. That’s where you want to start.
