Answer:

Distribute 2 to (x + 6) and 3 to (x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x + 6) = 3(x - 4) + 5

The first step is to distribute on both sides

2x+12 = 3x-4 +5

We have to distribute to all terms inside the parentheses

X - y = -2<br> y = -x - 2<br> What is the solution
LenKa [72]

Answer:

<em>x </em>= -2

<em>y </em>= 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Pretty hard process, but let me explain:

First, solve for y.

Substitute -x - 2 for y in x - y = -2:

Then, simplify both sides of the equation.

x - y = -2

x - (-x - 2) = -2

After, add -2 to both sides of the equation.

2x + 2 = -2

2x + 2 + -2 = -2 + -2

Next, divided both sides by 2.

2x/2 = -4/2

After that, substitute -2 for x in y = -x - 2:

You must simplify both sides of the equation.

y = -x - 2

y = -(-2) - 2

y = 0

Sorry if this is long and confusing, but I hope this helps!!
