8x + 7y = 39
4x - 14y = -68

(multiply each term in second equation by -2)

8x + 7y = 39
-8x + 28y = 136

(add both equations)

35y = 175

(divide both sides by 35)

y = 5

(substitute value of y in one of the equations)

8x + 7(5) = 39
8x + 35 = 39
8x = 4
x = 1/2
(x, y) = (1/2, 5)

The variable Z is directly proportional to X. When X is 5, Z has the value 55.
Mashutka [201]
Z is directly proportional to x, that means :
z = k.x, with k is the coefficient of proportionality:
Let calculate k:
When x = 5, z = 55. Plug in:
 55 = k.5  → k=55/5 ; k =11
The value of z when  = 12 is : z= kx; z = 11(12) and z = 132
