Answer:
Explanation:
x + y = 25
2x - y = 6 Solve for y in this the second equation. Add y to both sides
2x = 6 + y The ys on the left cancel. Subtract 6 from both sides.
2x - 6 = y
Put this value of y into the first equation
x + y = 25
x + 2x - 6 = 25 Combine on the left
3x - 6 = 25 Add 6 to both sides.
3x = 25 + 6 Combine the right
3x = 31 Divide by 3
x = 31 / 3
x = 10.333333
x + y = 25
10.33333 + y = 25 Subtract 10.33333
y = 25 - 10.333333
y = 14.666666
x + y = 25
10.33333 + 14.66666
25 approximately.
2x - y = 6
2*10.33333 - 14.66666
20.66666 - 14.66666
6
You should note that those numbers are repeating decimals
2x - 6 = y
