X + y = 62 

x - y = 12

Move x over so y is alone in one of the above equations,

y = 62-x

Now substitte in y

x-(62-x) = 12

x - 62 + x = 12

2x = 12 + 62

2x/2 = 74/2

x = 37

Now for y sub in the x!

x + y = 62

(37) + y = 62

y = 62 - 37

y = 25.

So 25 + 37 =62

and 37 - 25 = 12


Method 2 :
Start by stacking the 2 original equations from above,

x+y=62
x-y=12
You want to "cancel" out one of the variable so,

x+y=62
+  +  =  +
x - y =12

So then you add,

2x = 74

2x / 2 = 74 / 2

x = 37.

Now you can once again sub it back into the original equation to solve for y,

x+y=62
(37)+y=62
y=62-37
y=25

Hope this helps!

Find an equation for the line parallel to 4 y + 24 x = 32 and goes through the point ( 1 , − 4 ) . Write your answer in the form
Snezhnost [94]

Answer: y = - 6x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)

The equation of the given line is

4y + 24x = 32

Rearranging it so that it will take the slope intercept form, it becomes

4y = - 24x + 32

Dividing through by 4, it becomes

y = - 6x + 8

Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = - 6

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (1,-4) is - 6

To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = - 6, x = 1 and y = -4 into y = mx + c. It becomes

- 4 = - 6 × 1 + c = - 6 + c

c = - 4 + 6 = 2

The equation becomes

y = - 6x + 2
