Answer:
y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the equation y = kx
Plug in x and y to find k:
2 = k(16)
1/8 = k
Then, plug in 1/8 as k and 96 as x to find y:
y = 1/8(96)
y = 12
40+90=130
180-130=50
50+130=180
x=130
50+x=180
Since you have an equation equal to both x and y, you can either substitute the equation equal to x for x or the equation equal to y for y.
x=y-1
y=4-2x
I would substitute the y in using 4-2x
x=(4-2x)-1
x=3-2x
3x=3
x=1
Then plug in x and solve for y
1=y-1
2=y
