Question

Write a two column proof

Answer 1

$4y=2x-10$ and $y=6$

use the second expression to calculate the left-hand side of the first equation:

$4\cdot 6 = 2x -10\\24 = 2x -10$

Add 10 to both sides if this equation to get

$34 = 2x$

and divide both sides by 2

$17 = x$

this proves that x = 17, give the two initial equations
