Question
Answer:
This should be a basic system of equations problem-------------
12x + 4y = 152
32x + 12y =420
-----------------------
First solve 12x + 4y = 152 for x
Add -4y to each side
12x+4y+-4y=152+-4y
12x=-4y+152
----------------------------
Divide each side by 12
12x ÷ 12 = [tex] \frac{-4y+152}{12} [/tex]
x = -1/3y + 38/3
============================================================
Substitute -1/3y + 38/3 for x in 32x+12y=420
32(-1/3y + 38/3)+12y=420
-------------
Simplify each side
4/3y + 1216/3 = 420
-------------------
Add -1216/3 on each side
4/3y + 1216/3 + -1216/3 = 420 + -1216/3
4/3y = 44/3
-------------------------
Divide each side by 4/3
4/3y ÷ 4/3 = 44/3 ÷ 4/3
y = 11
y = 11 is your answer
