This is a system of equations.
First, you set everything in terms of y.
Take the first equation and move set everything equal to y
y=0+2x
Since it’s 0, you don’t need to put it, so
y=2x works.
Then, you plug y=2x into the bottom equation, for the y.
-7x +3(2x)=2. You do this because now you have the same variable for both and it can be solved easily.
Then you can simplify.
-7x+3x = 2
Then combine like terms.
-4x = 2
Divide by -4 on each side.
x = -1/2
So, now that you have x, you can plug in your x-value back into the top equation.
-2(-1/2) + y = 0
Combine like terms
1+y=0
Get y by itself
y=-1
There you have it!
You can check by plugging in both values to any of the equations. We will use the top one here.
-2(-1/2) + (-1) =0
+1 + -1 = 0
It works!
So,
X= -1/2
Y= -1

Answer:6x - 2y = 22
Step-by-step explanation:
Just multiplying equation by 2
Can do it with any number
Answer:
(0, -2), (1, -1), (2,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
should be along those lines
Step-by-step explanation:
let age of samantha be 3x and age of jason be x.(since samantha is three times as old as jason)
Now,
3x+x=56 (sum of their ages is 56)
or 4x=56
or x=56/4
or x=14
therefore age of samantha=3x=3×14=42
age of jason = x = 14
