Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the system of equations together:
2x - 3y = 12
4x + 3y = 24
you get
6x = 36
divide by the coefficient
6x/6 = 1
36/6 = 6
x = 6
Not sure if you need the y, but if so, let me know!
Hope this helps!
Ok so assuming that the 'x' means multiply and not 'x' as in placeolder we do
PEMDAS
parenthaseees
exponents
multipilcation or division
additon or subtraction
parethasees simplify first
(8+7)=15
(9-3)=6
now we have
2x(15)-6/2x(6)
multiply
2x15=30
6/2x6=36/2=18
now we have
30-18
12
answer is 12
The wood is 10 inches and you're cutting it into 1/2 pieces, so divide 10 by 1/2, which is 20, The carpenter can cut 20 dowels.
