Answer:

Diagram a : y = 7, x = 8

Diagram b : y = 16, x = 6

Diagram c : y = 7, x = 5

Explanation:

Diagram a :

calculate y: calculate x:

4y - 6 = 22 2x + 3 = 19

+6 +6 -3 -3

4y = 28 2x = 16

/4 /4 /2 /2

y = 7 x = 8

Diagram b :

calculate y : calculate x :

3 (y-4) = 36 5 (x +2 ) = 40

3y - 12 = 36 5x +10 = 40

+12 +12 -10 -10

3y = 48 5x = 30

/3 /3 /5 /5

y = 16 x = 6

Diagram c :

calculate y: calculate x :

2y + 9 = 4y - 5 4x + 2 = 3x + 7

-2y -2y -3x -3x

9 = 2y - 5 x + 2 = 7

+5 +5 -2 -2

14 = 2y x = 5

/2 /2

y = 7
