Answer:

y=9 and x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

ok looking at what they give us in the question we can see that we have two equations. to solve for it be will need to combine them together

note that because they use the word sum we know it's addition

y= x-6

x+y=24

now that we have these we can substitute y=x-6 for the y in our addition equaution such that we have it in terms of one variable:

x+ (x-6) = 24

2x-6=24

2x=30

x=15

now going back we can find Y

15+ y = 24

y=9

-6 - 3(2x + 4) = 18what’s the answer
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

-6-3\left(2x+4\right)=18

Add 6 to both sides:

-6-3\left(2x+4\right)+6=18+6

-3\left(2x+4\right)=24

Divide both sides by -3:

\frac{-3\left(2x+4\right)}{-3}=\frac{24}{-3}

2x+4=-8

Subtract 4 from both sides:

2x+4-4=-8-4

2x=-12

Divide both sides by 2:

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-12}{2}

x=-6

Katherine has $140 in the bank and is saving $6 per week. Abbie has $462 in the bank, but is spending at a rate of $10 per week.
AveGali [126]
Let x be the number of weeks for this financial situation. The amount that Katherine will have at the end of x weeks is 140 + 6x. On the other hand, with the spending that she is doing, Abbie will have 462 - 10x after x weeks. Equating the two,
                                     140 + 6x = 462 - 10x
Thus, the answer is letter B.
