Answer:

Alright well solve first the variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation

Point form: (1, 19)

equation form: x = 1 and y = 19

Hope this helps have a nice day :)

Answer: The required value of y is 19.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of y in the solution to the following system of equations :


y=12x+7~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\y=-6x+25~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Comparing equations (i) and (ii), we get


12x+7=-6x+25\\\\\Rightarrow 12x+6x=25-7\\\\\Rightarrow 18x=18\\\\\Rightarrow x=(18)/(18)\\\\\Rightarrow x=1.

From equation (i), we get


y=12*1+7=12+7=19.

Thus, the required value of y is 19.
