Answer:
(-9, -5)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Solution</u> :
Let, the number be A
Given, A/2 + 12 = 6
⇒ (A + 24)/2 = 6
⇒ A + 24 = 12
⇒ A = 12 - 24
⇒ A = - 12
∴ the required number is (- 12). (Ans.)
You should subtract left sides and right sides in order to make y disappeared
and you will have the following:
y - y = (x - 6) - (3x - 8) => 0 = x - 6 - 3x - 8 => 0 = -2x - 14 =>
2x = -14 => x = -14/2 = -7
Now you can use -7 in the system and you will get y
y = -7 - 6 = -13
So your answers will be:
x=-7 and y=-13
