3x+2(4x-4)=3 - remove parentheses
3x+ 8x-8=3 - collect like terms
11x- 8 =3 - move the constant to the right
11x=3+8 - calculate
11x = 11 - divide both sides by 11
x= 1
Answer and explanation:
Please find attached answer and explanation
X+ y = 44
x - y = 6
—————
2x = 50
x = 25
y = 44-x = 19
X less than 10 is the answer I think
