2x - 6y = 12
so we pick any number for x and then solve for y
lets say x = 0
2(0) - 6y = 12
-6y = 12
y = -12/6
y = -2....so when x = 0, y = -2....(0,-2) <== one point
lets say x = 1
2(1) - 6x = 12
2 - 6x = 12
-6x = 12 - 2
-6x = 10
x = -10/6
x = - 5/3...so when x = 1, y = -5/3....(1,-5/3) <== another point
Lets say x = 2
2(2) - 6y = 12
4 - 6y = 12
-6y = 12 - 4
-6y = 8
y = -8/6
y = - 4/3....so when x = 2, y = -4/3.....(2,-4/3) <== another point
lets say x = 3
2(3) - 6y = 12
6 - 6y = 12
-6y = 12 - 6
-6y = 6
y = -6/6
y = -1....so when x = 3, y = -1.....(3,-1) <== another point
now there is 4 points.
The easy way is just to divide by 3
15% /3 = 5%
Since you have divided the % by 3 you can divide the 375 by 3
375 / 3 = 125
Answer 125
12x - 8y = -12
6x + 4y = -30
Multiply the 2nd equation by 2, to make the Y coefficients opposite:
6x + 4y = -30 x 2 = 12x + 8y = -60
Now add the two equations:
12x -8y = -12 + 12x +8y = -60
= 24x = -72
Divide bothe sides by 24 to solve for x:
x = -72/24
x = -3
Now replace x with -3 in the first equation to solve for y:
12(-3) - 8y = -12
-36 - 8y = -12
Add 36 to each side:
-8y = 24
Divide both sides by -8 to solve for y:
y = 24 / -8
y = -3
X = -3 and y = -3
(-3,-3)
