We want to find the coeficient of the y terms when added together so find all the y terms
+12y and +2y
we add them together
12y+2y=(12+2)y=(14)y=14y
coeficient is 14
the constant is the number that is set already or the number that doesn't have it multiplied by a placeholder exg. 4 is a constnat but 4x is not so find the constants
+5 and +8
we add
5+8=13
the constant is 13
y coeficient=14
constant=14
Let x= original number
equation: 2x+24=2/7 x
move 2x over to the other side of the equation to get 24=-12/7 x. Then, multiply both sides of the equation by -7/12 to isolate the variable.
The final answer should be x=-14
Maximum number of caps that Kevin can buy is 10.
Solution:
Total money for shopping = $320
Amount spent for video game = $156
Remaining amount that Kevin had = $320 – $156
= $164
Cost of each cap including tax = $15



Maximum number of caps that Kevin can buy is 10.
Answer: to make it easier
Step-by-step explanation:
well 9+3=12 but taking 1 from the three and making ten then adding 2 is easier
Answer:
Multiply equation
by 5 and
by 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Equations are 
To find: constant by which each equation should be multiplied to eliminate the variable
in the given system of equations
Solution:

Multiply equation (i) by 5 and (ii) by 4 to get the following equations:

On subtracting these equations, we get

So, the variable
gets eliminated
