12, 2, 5, 4, 7
The coefficients are the numbers that are in front of the letters
Well you can simplify them by dividing by there greatest common factor.
In this case they can both divide by 12!
Thats the biggest number they can divide by...
Soo..
36 ÷ 12 = 3
----------------
48 ÷ 12 = 4
So your answer is 3/4!
Good Luck! :)
Answer:
x = 4
Explanation:
3x - 4y = 36
5x + 2y = 8 ( multiply all by two )
3x - 4y = 36
10x + 4y = 16
13x = 52
Divide by 13
x = 4 hope this helps
