Question

Solve for x in the two equations below using substitution
12x-6y=60
24x+6y=300

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

12x - 6y = 60

24x + 6y = 300

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the y- term, that is

36x + 0 = 360

36x = 360 ( divide both sides by 36 )

x = 10
