Question

What does x and y equal if 3x-2 equal x-y equals 4

Answer 1

x is 2 and y is -2

Solution:

Given that,

3x-2 equal x-y equals 4

Which means,

3x - 2 = x - y = 4

Therefore,

x - y = 4

Also,

3x - 2 = 4

Simplify above expression

3x - 2 = 4

3x = 4 + 2

3x = 6

Divide both sides by 3

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 in x - y = 4

2 - y = 4

y = 2 - 4

y = -2

Thus x is 2 and y is -2
