Question

2x — бу = 12
х+ 10 = — 9

Answer 1

x = -19; y = 25/3

Explanation:

Step 1: solve the equation with only one variable

Isolate the variable (x)

x + 10 = -9

x = -9 - 10

x = -19

Step 2: input new information into the other equation

If x = -19, then:

2(-19) - 6y = 12

Isolate the variable (y)

-38 - 6y = 12

-6y = 12 + 38

-6y = 50

y = 50 ÷ 6

y = 50/6

Simplify

y = 25/3
