Find & when y = 9
Give your answer as an improper fraction in its simplest form.​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 41/2

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that we are finding 'x' when y = 9.

$2x-2y=23\\\\2x-2(9)=23\\\\2x-18=23\\\\2x-18+18=23+18\\\\2x=41\\\\\frac{2x=41}{2}\\\\\boxed{x=\frac{41}{2}}$

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

2x-2y=23

2x-18=23

2x=23+18

2x=41

2x/2=41/2

x=20.5
