3x < -6
x < -6/3
x < -2
Therefore, the solution set is {x | x < -2}.
We know that y is equal to x-2. We can just substitute x-2 for y since y is equal to it.
10x- 9(x-2)=24
Distribute.
10x- 9x+18= 24
x+18= 24
Subtract 18 on both sides.
x= 6
Now, plug in x.
y= (6)-2
y= 4
We can check this to see if this works:
4= 6-2, 4=4
10(6)- 9(4)= 24
60-36= 24, 24=24
x=6 and y=4
I hope this helps!

84 ÷ 2 = 42
Check it to make sure.
2 × 42 = 84
42 and 2 can be multiplied to get 84.
Step-by-step explanation:
All the 5 rows of the coefficient matrix (since it is of order 5×8) will have a pivot position. The augmented matrix obtained by adding a last column of constant terms to the 8 columns of the coefficient matrix will have nine columns and will not have a row of the form [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1]. So the system is consistent.
