x - y = 35
x = 6y
Plug 6y in for x in the first equation.
6y - y = 35
5y = 35
Divide both sides by 5
y = 7
x = 6y
x = 6(7) = 42
42 and 7
Letter C
Since we had the answers we could have just tried the answers but you will not always have multiple choice so this is the method for solving.
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
6x - 5y = 14 ← substitute y = 2 into the equation
6x - 5(2) = 14
6x - 10 = 14 ( add 10 to both sides )
6x = 24 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x = 4
