2(x+y)=24
2x=y
Use substitution. If y=2x, than we can substitute 2x for it in the other equation, because x and y equal the same things in both equations.
So using that we get 2(x+2x)=24
SIMPLIFY
2(3x)=24
DISTRIBUTE
6x=24.
DIVIDE: x=4.
If we substitute x into the original equations we get x=4 and y=8. Those are your two numbers.
Have a nice day! :)

Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up a proportion for this problem:
Now we can cross multiply:
1,600 dentists were surveyed in total.
X=5 y=1 this what i got when i worked it out on my paper. hope that helps.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: 3
Discussion:
The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the side lengths.
Perimeter of top polygon is (x+2) + 2x + (x + 2) + (4x + 1) = 8x + 5
Perimeter of bottom triangle is 4x + 2x + (3x+2 ) = 9x + 2
The perimeters are the same when
8x + 5 = 9x + 2
Subtract 8x from both sides:
5 = (9x - 8x) + 2 or
5 = x + 2
Subtract 2 from each side to get x = 3:
5 -2 = 3 = x
The perimeter of either figure is 29

Answer: Answer C
Step-by-step explanation:
12%___780 votes
100%___X= 6500 votes
(100*780)/12 = 6500
