Question

Two times a number, x, plus 3 times a number, y, equals 50. Four times x minus 2 times y equals 4. What are the numbers?

x = 7, y = 12

x = 19, y = 4

x = 10, y= 18

x = -11, y = 24

Answer 1

First, you can create two system of equations... given the information in the question :)
So what would these two equations be?

Answer 2

\[2(x) + 3(y) = 50; 4(x) - 2(y) =4\]

Answer 3

Solve the first one

Answer 4

\[3(y) = -2(y) +50\]
