12 = 2/3(x - 3)

<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>

12 = 2/3x - 2

<em><u>Add 2 to both sides.</u></em>

14 = 2/3x

<em><u>Multiply both sides by 3.</u></em>

42 = 2x

<em><u>Divide both sides by 2.</u></em>

21 = x

The value of x is equal to 21.

Solve the following system using the SUBSTITUTION method.<br> x - 3y = 2<br> 2x - 6y = 6
notka56 [123]

ANSWER:

  • x – 3y = 2 ...(1)
  • 2x – 6y = 6 ...(2)

On solving eq(1), we get

  • x – 2 = 3y
  • x – 2/3 = y

Plug the value of x in eq(2)

  • 2x – 6(x - 2/3) = 6
  • 2x – 2(x – 2) = 6
  • 2x – 2x + 4 = 6
  • 0 = 6 – 4
  • 0 ≠ 2

So, given system of equations is not correct.
