Answer:

x=7

y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to use substitution you need to get one of the equations to have a variable by itself. I'm going to use the first one and get x by itself.

x-3y= 4  So firstly add the 3y to both sides since you want x alone.

 +3y  +3y

x=3y+4

Now that you have x alone you can plug this into the second equation for x.

4(3y+4)-2y=26

Next distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parenthesis.

4(3y)+4(4)-2y=26    Simplify.

12y+16-2y=26         Now add or subtract your like terms together (12y-2y).

10y+16=26              Next subtract 16 from both sides.

     -16  -16

10y=10                   Finally, to get y alone divide by 10 on both side.

y=1

To find x you plug y back into one of the equations you started with. I'm using x-3y=4  Again.

x-3(1)=4        Distribute the -3 to the one.

x-3=4           Now add 3 to both sides.

+3 +3

x=7

Top 1. Substitute 3y on both sides of the equation.
Bottom 2. Substitute 2y on both sides of the equation

3y and 2y cancel

Divide x by 4 and 26 by 4.

last year, debra opened an investment account with $7600. At the end of the year, the amount in the account had increased by 29.
-BARSIC- [3]

There are $9842 in her account at the end of last year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount in account = $7600

Increment by the end of year = 29.5%

Amount of increase = 29.5% of amount in account

Amount of increase = \frac{29.5}{100}*7600

Amount of increase = 0.295*7600 = $2242

The increase is $2242.

Amount after increase = 7600 + 2242 = $9842

There are $9842 in her account at the end of last year.

The absulote value of -8 and 5
Blababa [14]

The absolute value of -8 is 8 and the absolute value of 5 is 5. Absolute value is basically the number's distance from 0 on a number line, basically how many numbers it is away from 0. For that reason, it's always positive, regardless of whether or not the number is positive or negative. Hope this helped!
