Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
6(x-6)+2x=6(2-3x)+4x-2x
6x-36+2x=12-18x+4x-2x
8x-36=-16x+12
24x-36=12
24x=48
x=2
It factorises to -
4(x+6)
X is Kevin; Y is Dan
X = 3Y
X - 4 = 5(Y - 4)
3Y - 4 = 5(Y - 4)
3Y - 4 = 5Y - 20
+ 4 +4
4 cancels each other out.
3Y = 5Y - 16
- 5 -5
5 cancels each other out.
-2Y = -16
/2 /2
Y = 8
X = 3Y;
X = 3 x 8;
Thus,
X = 24;
Kevin(x) is 24
