Answer:

x=99

Explanation:

y = 6

2x+3y=36y

2x+3(6)=36(6)

2x+18=216

2x=216-18

2x=198

2x/2=198/2

x=99

hope it's helpful

Answer:

y = 6 so

2x + 3y = 36y is equal to:

2x + 3*6 = 36*6

-> 2x + 18 = 216

We must now move 18 to the other side of the equation. As we do that, we also change it's sign to negative 18:

2x = 216 - 18

We simplify this

2x = 198

Now, that we got to this point, we know that 2x is equal to 198. To find x we must divide the both sides of the equation by two:

2x/2 = 198/2

And we get that

x = 99
