Question

Hey anyone bother to help

What is the solution to this system of equations?
x = 12 − y
2x + 3y = 29

Answer 1

x=11, y=1 or (11, 1)

Explanation:

I used substitution to solve this. Basically wherever there's an x, I would fill it in as 12-y.

2(12-y)+3y=29

24+2y+3y=29

24+5y=29

subtract 24 from both sides

5y=5

divide by 5

y=1

Now substitute y back in to get x.

x=12-1

x=11

You can also graph this into desmos, and wherever they intercept, that's your answer. I hope this helps!
