You are factoring one or more linear expressions (but are not factoring variables).
2.4n+9.6 can be divided by 2.4 and then the result mult. by 2.4:
2.4n+9.6 = 2.4 [ n + 4 ]
Also: -6z+12= 6 [ -z + 2 ] Here I have simplified linear functions but factoring out common constant coefficients (not variables).
Answer:
x=4, y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - y = 6
x + y = 6
Add these together to eliminate y
2x - y = 6
x + y = 6
-----------------
3x = 12
Divide by 3
3x/3 = 12/3
x=4
But we still need y
x+y =6
4+y =6
Subtract 4 from each side
4+y-4 = 6-4
y=2
