Solve for x in X-2 (x=8)
Substitute X=8 into 3x - 6y =18 (24-6y=18)
Solve for y in 24-6y=18 (y=1)
X=8 and y=1

2y=6
3x-6y=18
Divide first equation by 2: y=3
Substitute y=3 into second equation: 3x-6(3)=18
Solve for x: 3x=36 x=12

Therefore there is only one solution: x=12 y=3

Given: Mass of baseball=0.145 kg

Speed of baseball=40 meters per second

Also it is given that The kinetic energy (in joules) of a moving object can be calculated from the expression $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ , where 'm' is the mass of the object in kilograms and 'v' is its speed in meters per second.
