Answer:
y=2x-5
Step-by-step explanation:
First simplify: y-1=2x-6
y-1=2(x-3)
First simplify and distribute everything.
<u>y-1=2x-6</u>
So, x equals 2 because it got distributed into the numbers inside the parenthesis. Same with the 2 and -3. They multiplied to become -6.
Since it's y-1=2x-6, you can simplify it even more so the -1 goes to the other side and turns into positive 1.
<u>y - 1 (+ 1) = 2x -6 (+ 1)</u>
-1(+1)=0 which leaves just the variable y on the <em><u>left side</u></em>.
-6(+1)=-5 which leaves 2x-5 on the <em><u>right side</u></em>.
This results in y=2x-5. Hope this helped ;)
Answer:
b=9,a=12
Step-by-step explanation:
I solved by substitution:
b = 3/4a ---> plug this into the other equation
a + b = 21 is now a + 3/4a = 21
Reduce: 7/4a = 21
a = 12
Now solve for b:
b=3/4a is now b=3/4(12)
b=9
