X=3 and y=-5/2. Here is why, when we do 7x+5x that gives us 12x. -2y+2y=0 and then we have 16 plus 20 which gives us 36. Now we gotta isolate x which right now we have 12x=36. Therefore divide by 12 to get x alone, which 36 divided by 12 is equal to 3. X=3. Plug it back into the equation, 7(3)=21 plus 2y=16. Subtract 21 from both sides 16-21 is equal to -5. Then 2y=-5 divide by 2 on both sides you will have -5/2=y or y=-5/2. Hope this helps!
Answer:
all real numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
X-18 = 2 (X-25)
x-18 = 2x - 50
-18 = x - 50
32 = x
check
32-18 = 14 = 2(32-25) = 2*7
32 is the answer
