Hello!
(4y + 8) - (7y - 12) = 11 is 1(4y + 8) - 1(7y - 12) = 11
1(4y + 8) - 1(7y - 12) = 11 Given
4y + 8 - 7y + 12 = 11 Distribute the 1 and the -1
-3y + 20 = 11 Combine like terms
-3y = -9 Subtract 20 from both sides
y = 3 Divide both sides by -3
Answer:
y = 3

Answer:
(1, 1 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = - 5x + 6 → (1)
y = 3x - 2 → (2)
Since both equations express y in terms of x, equate the right sides
3x - 2 = - 5x + 6 ( add 5x to both sides )
8x - 2 = 6 ( add 2 to both sides )
8x = 8 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 1
Substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations for corresponding value of y
Substituting x = 1 in (2)
y = 3(1) - 2 = 3 - 2 = 1
Solution is (1, 1 )
