5.5x + 3 = y
7x =y

5.5x + 3 = 7x (-5.5x both sides)

3 = 1.5x (÷1.5 both sides)

X = 2

Michael takes two hours

What is the solution to y=6x+25 y=12x-9

prisoha [69]

Answer:

x=17/3, y=59. (17/3, 59).

Step-by-step explanation:

y=6x+25

y=12x-9

--------------

6x+25=12x-9

12x-6x-9=25

6x-9=25

6x=25+9

6x=34

x=34/6=17/3

y=12(17/3)-9=4*17-9=68-9=59
