Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify</em>
2x - 9y = 11
<em>x</em> = 7
<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 2(7) - 9y = 11
- Multiply: 14 - 9y = 11
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 14 on both sides: -9y = -3
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide -9 on both sides: y = 1/3
I think the answer is 12 because the greatest common factor of 24 and 36 is 12.
