<span>y-2x=-6 and 5x-y=9
step 1: isolate y in the first equation
y = 2x - 6
step 2: substitute the y value on the 2th equation:
5x-(2x-6)=9
step 3: solve the present equation:
5x - 2x + 6 = 9
3x = 9-6
3x = 3
x = 1
step 4: get the y value by replacing the value of x in </span>y = 2x - 6:
<span>
y = 2*1 - 6
y = 2 - 6
y = -4
S={1, -4}

Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
Charmaine= x
William=x+3
3 times Charmaine = 3x
2times William = 2x+6
5x+6=76
5x=76-6
5x=70
X=14
Charmaine is 14
William is 3 years older so is 17
Check:
17x2= 34
14x3=42
34+42=76
So Charmaine is 14
William is 17
So the first thing you want to do when faced with two fractions with different denominators (when subtracting or adding) is to make the denominators the same. So for this equation they would turn out to be p+10/16=15/16 (because 16 is the lowest common denominator, 8 times two) so then you want to subtract 10/16 from 15/16 to isolate the variable (p) which would get:
p=5/16
This is the final answer because it cannot be simplified.
Hope this helps!
