anonymous · Answer

since x=2y-2 plug in 2y-2 in place of x for the other formula

anonymous · Answer

so 3(2y-2)-y=14

anonymous · Answer

and solve for y

anonymous · Answer

is it E

anonymous · Answer

what'd you get for y

anonymous · Answer

I didn't get anything because im not sure on how to do it
