Step-by-step explanation:
1/5x+60=2/3x-2
subtract 1/5x from 2/3x
when you do that you should get 0.46x repeating
then you add two to 60
you should get 62
62=0.46x
divide x
you get 134.7
Answer:
x= -2 and y= 3
Step-by-step explanation:
since x = 2y -8, substitute this in the first equation
Thus, -3(2y-8) + 2y =12
-6y+24+2y=12
-6y+2y=12-24
-4y=-12
y=3
put the value of y in the second equation,
x=2y-8
x=2(3)-8
x=6-8
x=-2
So, x=-2. y=3
