Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let the number be x:</u>
- 2x = 5x + 12
- 2x - 5x = 12
- -3x = 12
- x = -4
It is -4
3(x-8)=12
I got this equation since there are three of the "x-8" sections that add up to the twelve length bar above
Answer:
y=0, x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
6x-3y= -6 ...... equation 1
y =2x+2 ..... equation 2
subtract 2x from both sides
y-2x=2x-2x+2
y-2x=2
6x-3y= -6
y-2x=2
Rearrange
6x-3y= -6 ........x1
-2x +y=2............x3
6x-3y= -6
-6x +3y=2
0y=0
y=0
substitute y=0 in equation 1
6x-3xo= -6
6x= -6
x-6/6
x = -1
