Answer:

x = 4, y = -9/2 (-4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the second equation, we can divide both sides by -2 and get

y = 9/-2

y = -9/2

Then, we plug this y value into the first equation and get:

x + 4(-9/2) = -14

Simplify:

x - 18 = -14

x = 4

What is the value of y if (4y + 8) - (7t - 12) = 11?

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

If the '7t' is supposed to be '7y', then the answer is below
(4y+8)-(7y-12)=11
distribute the negative into the second parenthesis
4y+8-7y+12=11
combine like terms
-3y+20=11
subtract the 20 from both sides
-3y=-9
divide by -3 on both sides
y=3

if it is supposed to be '7t', I'm not sure if there's enough information
