Answer:
(x,y): (6 , -3) or (-30/7 , 33/7)
Step-by-step explanation:
6x + 8y = 12
x = y + 9 or y = x+ 9
if x = y+9
6*(y+9) + 8y = 12
14y = -42
y = -3 and x = 6
if y = x+9
6x + 8*(x+9) = 12
14x = -60
x = -30/7 and y = 33/7
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

w = number of weeks
b(w) = number of books read after w weeks
====================================
b(w) = 12 translates to "after w weeks, Katy will have read 12 books" or put another way "Katy will have read 12 books after w weeks". The 'w' is a placeholder for some number
====================================
b(2) = 10 means "Katy has read 10 books after 2 weeks". We use the same basic idea talked about above, but we replace w with 2. At the same time, we use 10 instead of 12.
====================================
b(3) = f means "Katy has read f books after 3 weeks" or "after 3 weeks, Katy has read f books". Like w, the f is a placeholder for some number.
The answer would be (1/8) (xy ^ 2).
Equation:
3x ^ 2 y ^ 2 / 24x
=(3/24) (x ^ 2 y ^ 2 / x)
SO simplify it is
= (1/8) (xy ^ 2)
The simplified expression for this case is given by:
(1/8) (xy ^ 2)
