Step-by-step explanation:
3(12)=2(y-1)
36=2y-2
36+2=2y
38=2y(<em>Divide</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>two</em><em>)</em>
y=19
The 54 percentage of 40 inches is 21.6 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
You're asking why

-2x-6y=18
-6y=18+2x
6y=-18-2x
y=-18/6-2x/6
y=-3-⅓x as required
