Solve your system of equations.

−2y=24;3x−6y=72

Solve −2y=24 for y:

−2y/−2 = 24/−2(Divide both sides by -2)

y=−12

Substitute (−12) for y in 3x−6y=72:

3x−6y=72

3x+(−6)(−12)=72

3x+72=72(Simplify both sides of the equation)

3x+72+−72=72+−72(Add -72 to both sides)

3x=0

3x/3 = 0/3(Divide both sides by 3)

x=0

Solve for x: 20 = 3x -1
Feliz [49]

20=3x-1

move -1 to the other side

sign changes from -1 to +1

20+1=3x-1+1

20+1=3x

21=3x

divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself

21/3=3/3x

Cross out 3 and 3, divide by 3 and then becomes 1*1*x=x

21/3=x

Answer:

x=7

kins age is twice that of her sister when you add kims age to her sisters you get 24 how old is each sister (a)write a equation
zimovet [89]

Kim's age is twice of that of her sister. We'll let k2 = Kim and k = Kim's sister.

So, k2. When you add Kim's age to her sister age you get 36.

Because Kim is twice the age of her sister k2. And because it said 'add' then we put a + sign. k2 + s = 36. Now let's solve it. 

k2 + k = 36 < Given

3k = 36 < Combine like terms

k = 12 < Divide both sides by 3

We know Kim's sister is 12 y/o but what about Kim herself? Earlier we assigned Kim to k2. Substitute 12 for k and you get 12(2) = 24

Kim's sister is 12 y/o and Kim is 24 y/o
