Well you do 228/12 to find your answer and that is 19 and to check you do 12*19=228
Answer:
x=1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First you distribute the 8 over the (x-3) giving you 8x-24. Do the same for 2x and (4-17). That should give you 8x-34x.
Your equation should look like : 8x-24+7=8x-34x
Next try to balance out your equation. You want your x's all by themselves in order to solve.
The 8x's cancel eachother out so you have -24+7= -34x.
Add the like terms of -24 and 7 to get -17.
Equation: -17= -34x
Divide both sides by -34 to get x by itself.
-17/-34 = x
Reduce by dividing the numerator and denominator by 17 to get -1/-2
Since they are both negative the fraction turns positive.
So the answer should be x=1/2
60 because all of the sides are equal

YWW :)
There are a few ways to solve this. The method I will use is the substitution method. Since they give us a "y = " statement, we can replace the y in the second equation with what it gives us to the right of the equal sign.
- 3x + 6(- 2x - 1) = 24
Simplify by using the distributive property.
- 3x + 6(- 2x) + 6(- 1) = 24
- 3x - 12x - 6 = 24.
Combine like terms
- 15x - 6 = 24
Add 6 to each side.
- 15x = 30
Divide both sides by - 15 to isolate variable X
x = 30 / - 15
x = - 2.
Now plug in the x-value we've found back into the first equation.
y = - 2( - 2) - 1
y = 4 - 1
y = 3
Your answer is (- 2, 3)
