Look at the picture.
We have the equation (1) 12x + 4y = 40.
We know, the sum of the acute angles in a right triangle is 90°.
Therefore we have the equation (2) (12x + 4y) + (17x - y) = 90
Substitute (1) to (2):
40 + 17x - y = 90 <em>subtract 40 from both sides</em>
17x - y = 50 (3)
We have the system of equations:
Substitute the value of x to (3)
Answer: x = 3 and y = 1.
An equivalent fraction in higher terms is 9/12 because you must multiply the top by 3 because you multiplied the bottom by 3
Answer:
G=3/W
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for g by dividing both sides by 3. So you get g=W/3.

You can see that the term 
appears in both equations. In this cases, we can leverage this peculiarity and subtract the two equations to get rid of the repeated term. So, if we subtract the first equation from the second, we have
Now that we know the value of 
, we can substitute in any of the equation to deduce the value of 
: if we use the first equation, for example, we have
