Question

What is the value of x for 7x - 12 y = 180 / 7x = 84

Answer 1

eq^2: 7x=84 divide 84 by 7 which is 12.

therefore x is equal to 12. Then

1) take that 12 you got in equation 2 and substitute in equation 1 which is:

7x-12y=180

7(12)-12y=180

84 -12y=180

-12y=180-84

-12y=96 ............divide both sides with -12

-y=8 (×-1) both sides

y= -8

therefore 7(12)-12(-8)=180
