Answer:
(6, - 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
- 
y = 3 → (1)
x - 
= 12 → (2)
Multiply (1) by 8 and (2) by 6 to clear the fractions
2x - 3y = 24 → (3)
10x - 3y = 72 → (4)
Rearrange (3) expressing - 3y in terms of x by subtracting 2x from both sides
- 3y = 24 - 2x
Substitute 3y = 24 - 2x into (4)
10x + 24 - 2x = 72, that is
8x + 24 = 72 ( subtract 24 from both sides )
8x = 48 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 6
Substitute x = 6 in either (3) or (4) and solve for y
Substituting in (3)
2(6) - 3y = 24
12 - 3y = 24 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
- 3y = 12 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
y = - 4
Solution is (6, - 4 )
<span>A rectangular soccer field is twice as long as it is wide. If the perimeter of the soccer field is 300 yards , what are its dimensions?
I know the basic formula is 2W+2L=300 but i am not sure where to go from there...
-----
Equations:
2W + 2L = 300
L = 2W
----
Substitute for "L" and solve for "W":
</span><span>2W + 2(2W) = 300
6W = 300
W = 50 yds (width)
----
Solve for "L":
L = 2W
L = 100 yds (length)
========================
Cheers.

Remember,
To subtract 2/3-1/2 you have to make them equivalent
2/3×2-1/2×3 = 4/6 - 3/6=
1/6
Answer: x = 13.5
3/4 = x/18
⇔ x = 3/4 .18 = 27/2 = 13.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Brett ran 9 1/2 miles or 9.5 miles
Adam ran 5.75 miles
9.5 - 5.75 = 3.75
Brett ran 3.75 miles more than Adam
