Wait it says ur in high school so u can't be over 30. that isn't possible. So what's the problem here? not good at math.
We need a graph to be able to answer it
If you would like to solve y = x - 4 and 2 * x + y = 5, you can do this using the following steps:
y = x - 4
2 * x + y = 5
_____________
2 * x + (x - 4) = 5
2 * x + x = 5 + 4
3 * x = 9 /3
x = 9 / 3
x = 3
y = x - 4 = 3 - 4 = -1
The correct result would be x = 3 and y = -1.
2(4z - 6 - 6) = 170 - 46
2(4z - 12) = 124 |use distributive property: a(b - c) = ab - ac
8z - 24 = 124 |add 24 to both sides
8z = 148 |divide both sides by 8
z = 18.5
