“Read each sentence and explain what the underlined word means. (1 sentence) After explaining what each underlined word means, describe what context clues you looked at in order to help you define each word. (1 sentence)”

substitute y = 2x - 4 to x + 2y = 12:

x + 2(2x - 4) = 12     use distributive property

x + (2)(2x) + () = 12

x + 4x - 8 = 12     add 8 to both sides

5x = 20     divide both sides by 5

x = 4

put the value of x to the first equation:

y = 2(4) - 4

y = 8 - 4

y = 4

i remeber a bit, but i don't have the exact qoute.
