Answer:

x=4

y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+2y=12

x−y=2

​In order to solve by elimination, coefficients of one of the variables must be the same in both equations so that the variable will cancel out when one equation is subtracted from the other.

2x+2y=12,x−y=2

To make 2x and x equal, multiply all terms on each side of the first equation by 1 and all terms on each side of the second by 2.

2x+2y=12,2x+2(−1)y=2×2

Simplify.

2x+2y=12,2x−2y=4

Subtract 2x−2y=4 from 2x+2y=12 by subtracting like terms on each side of the equal sign.

2x−2x+2y+2y=12−4

Add 2x to −2x. Terms 2x and −2x cancel out, leaving an equation with only one variable that can be solved.

2y+2y=12−4

Add 2y to 2y.

4y=12−4

Add 12 to −4.

4y=8

Divide both sides by 4.

y=2

Substitute 2 for y in x−y=2. Because the resulting equation contains only one variable, you can solve for x directly.

x−2=2

Add 2 to both sides of the equation.

x=4

The system is now solved.

x=4,y=2

Correct choice is B) x=4.

answer is 4

because y=2 then you subsistute it in and then you find X

x-y=2 turns to x=y+2 then you subsistute that into x of the equation 2x+2y=12 which then is 2(y+2)+2y =12 and you should get y=2 then you grab the other equation x-2=2 and you should get x=4

I have 3 equations 9x+6, 2(5x-3) and 5y+14 how do i solve for x?
snow_tiger [21]
Set the equation equal to zero.

9x+6=0
Subtract 6 from both sides
9x = -6
Divide both sides by 9
x=-6/9
or -2/3

2(5x-3)=0
Distribute
10x-6=0
add 6 to both sides
10x=6
Divide by 10 on both sides
x=6/10 or 4/5

5y+14=0
-14 from both sides
5y=-14
divide both sides by 5
y=-14/5
or -2 and 4/5

Answer:

3x-5+2y

Step-by-step explanation:

Wasnt much detail to the question so i created a random algebra expression you cannot have an equal sign for an expression because that would change it from an expression to an equation.
