EQUATION 1: x-y=12
EQUATION 2: 3x+y=4

STEP 1:
solve for one variable in equation 1

x - y= 12
add y to both sides

x= 12 + y


STEP 2:
use x value from step 1 and substitute in equation 2

3x + y= 4

3(12 + y) + y= 4
multiply 3 by parentheses

(3*12) + (3*y) + y= 4
multiply inside parentheses

36 + 3y + y= 4
combine like terms

36 + 4y= 4
subtract 36 from both sides

4y= -32
divide both sides by 4

y= -8


STEP 3:
substitute y value from step 2 into either equation

x - y= 12
x - (-8)= 12
x + 8= 12
subtract 8 from both sides
x= 4


CHECK:
x= 4, y= -8

3x + y= 4
3(4) + (-8)= 4
12 - 8= 4
4= 4


ANSWER: The x value is 4 and the y value is -8.

Hope this helps! :)

Sarah runs a day camp in the summer and needs to buy paper towels and soap for the restrooms. She spends $129 on t cases of pape
Cloud [144]
Let x be the number of cases of paper towels and y be the number of cases of soap. The system of linear equation that would best represent the given is,
                                 x + y = 10
                               12x + 15y = 129
The values of x and y are 7 and 3. 

Sarah both 7 cases of paper towel.

It is not possible for Sarah to buy exactly 20 bottles because first of all the cases contains only 12 bottles and 20 is not divisible by 12.

Mai poured `2.6` liters of water into a partially-filled pitcher. The pitcher now contains `10.4` liters. Mai wants to know how
prisoha [69]

Answer: 7.8

Step-by-step explanation: If we want to find the amount that was in the pitcher before then we subtract 2.6 from 10.4 to find the original amount because if the pitcher were to contain an amount that only adds up to 10.4 before we add 2.6 then the number that adds with 2.6 to equal 10.4 is our answer

hence our answer 7.8

Mari has 39 square feet of patio bricks. Each square brick has sides 1 foot long. What is the greatest perimeter of a rectangle
Margaret [11]
I think you would do 39 x 4 because if the SQUARE brick has sides 1 foot long, you count up the sides and get 4 feet. She has 29 square feet of patio bricks so you would multiply 39 x 4. I don't know if this is correct. Hopefully I helped!
