Assuming you need to find the solution, it's x=3 and y=6
I used elimination
Answer:
7.875......7.9.....or 8
Step-by-step explanation:
-3÷2×-21÷4= 7.875
63÷8=7.875
20x-28+12=16x+24 (i distributed the 4 to get this)
20x-16=16x+24 (added -28 & 12)
4x=40 (Subtracted 16x from both sides and added 16 to both sides)
(divide by 4 on both sides)
x=10
Jacob has 4 balloons, because 4 is half of 8
