Answer:

x= -2 and y= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

since x = 2y -8, substitute this in the first equation

Thus, -3(2y-8) + 2y =12

-6y+24+2y=12

-6y+2y=12-24

-4y=-12

y=3

put the value of y in the second equation,

x=2y-8

x=2(3)-8

x=6-8

x=-2

So, x=-2. y=3

What is the answer ti 3\4 × g = 5/8

gladu [14]

For this case we have the following expression:

$\frac {3} {4} g = \frac {5} {8}$

We clear the value of the variable "g", for this:

We multiply by 4 on both sides of the equation:

$4 * \frac {3} {4} g = \frac {5} {8} * 4\\3g = \frac {20} {8}$

We divide by 3 on both sides of the equation:

$\frac {3g} {3} = \frac {20} {8 * 3}\\g = \frac {20} {24}$

We simplify:

$g = \frac {10} {12} = \frac {5} {6}$

Answer:

$g = \frac {5} {6}$
