math hw

Answer 1

Halp meh

Answer 2

so, if I am correct, we need to find what x= and what y= ?

Answer 3

Yeah

Answer 4

ok uhm do your parentheses mean something, or can we just remove them?


but for the y-12=12 you need to get the y on a side by itself, which means you need to add 12 to both sides.


if the parentheses do not mean anything, then do the same with x.

Answer 5

Usually it means do it first so I think we do that before anything else then take the parenthesis away

Answer 6

well we do not know what the X is in this case, so we are unable to solve (x-12)
only way to do so would be to solve for x first.

so as i said, I think you would have
(x-12)=12

then you need to solve this. and do the same for y.
are you able to do this?

Answer 7

okk
63

Answer 8

oop not 63 just a typo

Answer 9

you mean like, since it's (x-12)=12 you added 12?
bc yes, that's how you solve these.

Answer 14

yeah

Answer 15

24x and 24y

Answer 16

ok so you got the right number.

however they are written slightly different.

you would write this as x=24 and y=24

make sense?

Answer 17

Oh yes thank you I have a some more if you dont mind helping me

Answer 18

please post them as another post and someone will be of assistance

Answer 19

Ok
