Question

X-4y=-12 and 5x=20y+60 How do you solve this

Answer 1

Here is the answers.

Answer 2

Answer:

You must turn the variables, or the "x" into a number to make the numbers on the left equal the numbers on the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve these problems, you must replace the variable with a number to have the equation on the left equal what is on the right.

Equation 1:

x - 4y = -12 <----- This is the original problem.

-8 - 4y = -12 <----- Replace the variable.

-12y = -12 <----- This is a true statement.

Equation 2:

  5x=20y+60 <----- This is the original problem.

5(16) =20y+60 <----- Replace the variable/Do the addition.

80 = 80y <------ This is a true statement.

Hope this helps! :D
