Question

If 3x+2y=72 and y=3x, then x whoever solve I give them all my points

Answer 1

x = 8

Explanation:

3x + 2y = 72

Put y as (3x), and solve for x.

3x + 2(3x) = 72

Multiply 2(3x).

3x + 6x = 72

Add like terms 3x and 6x.

9x = 72

Divide 9 into both sides and isolate x.

x = 72/9

x = 8

The value of x is 8.

Answer 2

`x=8`

`y=24`

Explanation:

3x+2y=72

If y=3x, we plug it into our equation and get:

3x+2×3x=72

3x+6x=72

9x=72

Divide both sides by 9

x=8
