Answer:

x = 2 y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x - 2

x = y - 2

Plug in the equation of x into the first equation and solve for y.

y = 3x - 2

y = 3(y - 2) - 2 Multiply out

y = 3y - 6 - 2

y = 3y - 8     Add 8 to each side

y + 8 = 3y - 8 + 8      8 cancels on the right

y + 8 = 3y          Subtract y from each side

y - y + 8 = 3y - y       The y on the left cancels

8 = 2y      Divide each side by 2

8/2 = 2y/2   2 on the right cancels because 2/2 = 1

8/2 = y

4 = y  

Now plug your answer into the 2nd equation given to solve for x.

x = y - 2

x = 4 - 2

x = 2

Solve for e.<br> 0.75(8 + e) = 2 - 1.25e
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

e = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to solve for e in the following equation,

.75(8 + e) = 2 - 1.25e

We need to distribute and use the communicative property to find <em>e</em>.

6 + .75e = 2 - 1.25e

-2 to both sides

4 + .75e = -1.25e

-.75 to both sides

4 = -2e

-2 to both sides

e = -2

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>e is -2.</em>

<em>Hope this helps :)</em>
