Answer:

y = 4

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

here's the solution :-

we know, x = 2y

so,

=》x + y = 12

=》2y + y = 12

( because x = 2y )

=》3y = 12

=》y = 12 ÷ 3

=》y = 4

so, y = 4

now,

=》x = 2y

=》x = 2 × 4

( because, y = 4 )

=》x = 8

so, we get x = 8

Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

4x + y = 2

y = x - 3

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitution

Substitute in y: 4x + (x - 3) = 2
Combine like terms: 5x - 3 = 2
Isolate x term: 5x = 5
Isolate x: x = 1

Step 3: Solve for y

Define equation: y = x - 3
Substitute in x: y = 1 - 3
Subtract: y = -2

EastWind [94]

Answer:

1) y=18

2)y=-0.18

Step-by-step explanation:

1) y-15=3. Add 15 on both sides.

y=18

2)-2.1+5y=-3. Add 2.1 on both sides

5y=-0.9. Divide 5 on both sides

y=-0.18

Question;

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

okay so I am assuming we are dividing okay so here is how we will do it

here are the top and bottom values written more easily

3^n -3^n-1

3^n+1 +3^n

so first we can cancel out the 3^n values then get left with this

3^n-1

3^n+1

now it depends on the instructions but you can leave it like this or you can subtract their powers to get

3^n-2
