Y = x - 6
x = -4
plug in the second equation in to the first
y = -4 - 6
y = -1(4 + 6)
y = -1(10)
y = -10
The solution to the system is not listed in the options. The correct solution is (-4, -10).
Answer: x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 x -4
1/3x=4 <---- First add 4 to each side of the equation (moves the "-4")
1/3x(3)=4(3) <---- Muliply each side by "3" to get rid of the fraction
x=12
A (-12,-8), B(6,-3), C(3,3)
Substituting y=6x+2 into equation 3y - 18x =12 looks like:
3(6x + 2) - 18x = 12
18x + 6 - 18x = 12 distributive property left side
6 = 12 simplifying the left side
We now see a contradiction: 6 does not equal 12 What this tells us is that there is no solutions to this equation. So choice 'C' ...
