i’m pretty positive you would just subtract!
X = 2y
2x + 2y = 24
So if x = 2y that means 2x = 4y. Which means that 2x + 2y = 24 can be written as 4y + 2y = 24. Simplified to 6y = 24. Now we need to get 1y so we divide both sides by 6, 6y/6 = y and 24/6 = 4. so y = 4. so x= 2y can be written as x = 8.
Answer:
50 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve this question by proportions, using rule of three.
One hour is 60 minutes.
5/6 hour
This is:

50 minutes.
2x+4-3x>-1
-x+4>-1
-x>-1-4
-x>-5
X<-5/-1
Hence x<5
