statement ?

Answer 4

Hello I am qualified helper reporting for duty

Answer 5

Thanks! :D

Answer 6

x+38x=y2+12
24x-64=12
can you make this more clear, are these supposed to be exponents

Answer 7

\[x+38^x=y^2+12\\
24x-64=12\]
something like this?

Answer 8

nope. No exponents. It looks like this. \[x+38x=y2+12\] \[24x-64=12\]

Answer 9

Would I subtract 38x from both sides to get x by itself.

Answer 10

Because I asked a Qualified Helper.

Answer 11

What do you need help with? I'm not sure what you need

Answer 12

okay so in that case
simple add all the like terms you see in the equation first

Answer 13

simply*

Answer 14

then would it just be 38x=y2+12?

Answer 15

because you add x+38x?

Answer 16

39*x

Answer 17

\[39x\] ?

Answer 18

\[Equation~1\\39x=2y+12\\
\\
\\
Equation~2\\
24x-64 + 64=12+64\\
24x=76\\
x=76/24\]

Answer 19

ohhh. Thank you!

Answer 20

now do I plug 76/24 in for every x I see in equation 2?

\[39x\] ?

\[\large\rm \color{red}{1}x+38x\]
yes there is invisible one
so (1+38)x =39x :-)

Answer 22

Yes that's is right, now you can solve for y, as you know what x is: x=76/24
\[39*x=2y+12\\
39*\color {red}{(76/24)}=2y+12\\
39*76/24 \color {red} {-12} = 2y+12\color {red}{-12}\\
\frac{(39*76/24-12)}{\color {red}{2}}=\frac{2y}{\color {red}{2}}\\
y=\frac{(39*76/24-12)}{{2}}\]
