Question

3x – 2y = 24
x + 2y = 48

x=??
y=??

Answer 1

Problem 1 Answer: x = 2/3y+8

Show Work:

Step 1: Add 2y to both sides.

3x−2y+2y=24+2y

3x=2y+24

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 = 2y+24/3

x = 2/3y+8

Problem 2 Answer: x=−2y+48

Show Work:

Add -2y to both sides.

x+2y+−2y=48+−2y

x=−2y+48
