Solve for x :2x -3x=7-3 8 12

1.	Solve for x :2x -3x=7-3 8 12
Answer» Answer: 2x = 8 – 12y 12 + 2x + 2y = 4x The second equation, after subtracting 2x from each side, becomes 12 + 2y = 2x EQUATING the TWO REPRESENTATIONS of 2x from FIRST & second EQUATIONS leadsus to 12 + 2y = 8 - 12y or 14 y = -4 so that gives y = -2/7. Check my work! If you agree, proceed to substitute the y value into the first equation, leading to solving for x.

Answer:

2x = 8 – 12y

12 + 2x + 2y = 4x

The second equation, after subtracting 2x from each side, becomes 12 + 2y = 2x

EQUATING the TWO REPRESENTATIONS of 2x from FIRST & second EQUATIONS leadsus to 12 + 2y = 8 - 12y

or 14 y = -4 so that gives y = -2/7.
