Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the LCM of the two numbers because we need to know the lowest number that 12 and 9 are both in.
12 × 1 = 12
12 × 2 = 24
12 × 3 = 36
12 × 4 = 48
9 × 1 = 9
9 × 2 = 18
9 × 3 = 27
9 × 4 = 36
We can see that 36 is the lowest number that occurs both in 12 and 9 so the blue and red light will both link at 36 seconds

Ok so for starters you want to choose an equation and solve for a variable.
So, I am going to choose x from the first equation.
Add y to both sides and you get x=11+y
Next, substitute 11+y for x in the other equation so you get...
2(11+y) +10y=-6
Next distribute the 2 throug the 11 and the y
22+2y+10y=-6
12y=-28
y=-28/12
reduce this fraction to make this easier.
y=-7/3
Now plug in why to either of the equations to find x
x-(-7/3)=11
x+7/3=11
x=11-(7/3)
x=(33/3)-(7/3)
x=26/3
so x = 26/3 and y = -7/3
you can also check to see if this is correct by substituting each of these values into the equations.
