To substitute, solve for one variable and then plug it into the other equation you have. In this problem, y is already solved for on the top equation (y=x+2), so you just stuff it into the second equation.
y = x + 2
3y = 4x - 2
3(x + 2) = 4x - 2
3x + 6 = 4x - 2
-x = -8
x = 8
y = x + 2 = 8 + 2 = 10
solution:
x = 8
y = 10
hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a group of hikers walked 
miles along a hiking trail. Another group of hikers walked 
that distance with the first group before turning off onto another trail. Now we need to find about how many miles did the two groups of hikers walk with each other.
To find that we just need to find half of
=
=
=
=
=
Hence final answer is miles.
Check the picture below, so the parabola looks more or less like so, with a "p" distance of 3 and the vertex at the origin, keeping in mind the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix.

Answer:
You do -17 + -10 inorder to change the operation used because both negatives does not mathematically look nice.
Step-by-step explanation:
To isolate the unknown, we need to move all the numbers on one side of the equal sign and all the unknow variables on one side.
Here we move 10 on the other side by taking away 10 both sides
10 + 3x = -17
-10 -10
then we are left with only 3x on one side and -27 on the other side because -17 - -10 = -27 , in this case it is acknowledge to change the operation from minus to add because the two minus are together, so we say -17 + -10 .
3x = -27
/3 /3
x = -9
