We know that y is equal to x-2. We can just substitute x-2 for y since y is equal to it.
10x- 9(x-2)=24
Distribute.
10x- 9x+18= 24
x+18= 24
Subtract 18 on both sides.
x= 6
Now, plug in x.
y= (6)-2
y= 4
We can check this to see if this works:
4= 6-2, 4=4
10(6)- 9(4)= 24
60-36= 24, 24=24
x=6 and y=4
I hope this helps!

The length of segment BC can be determined using the distance formula, wherein, d = sqrt[(X_2 - X_1)^2 + (Y_2 - Y_1)^2]. The variable d represent the distance between the two points while X_1, Y_1 and X_2, Y_2 represent points 1 and 2, respectively. Plugging in the coordinates of the points B(-3,-2) and C(0,2) into the equation, we get the length of segment BC equal to 5.
