Move all terms that dont contain y to the right side and solve and you get:
y=4x/3-7
Hope this helps
Assuming you typed this correctly, and how you wanted it, then the answer(s) would be x=3, or x=8. Both answers are correct. If it were multiple choice, then the answer would look something like: X=3 or 8.
If you meant 2x, then the answer would be x=8/3. This is a fraction
Answer:
19 - 2 = x The X will be 17
I have x candy, but my friend only have 2 candy which is less than me, but our total is 19 candy. How many candy do I have?
You could make similar story if you want to. But the X is 17.
Let 
be the dimensions of the rectangle. We know the equations for both area and perimeter:
So, we have the following system:
From the second equation, we can deduce
Plug this in the first equation to get
Refactor as
And solve with the usual quadratic formula to get
Both solutions are feasible, because they're both positive.
If we chose the positive solution, we have
If we choose the negative solution, we have
So, we're just swapping the role of 
and 
. The two dimensions of the rectangle are 
and
