X = 3 - y
5x - 12 = y
Using the two equations above, solve for y.
A. y = 0.5
B. y = 2.5
C. y = -2
D. y = 5.5

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x = 3 - y → (1)

5x - 12 = y → (2)

Substitute x = 3 - y into (2)

5(3 - y) - 12 = y ← distribute and simplify left side

15 - 5y - 12 = y

3 - 5y = y ( add 5y to both sides )

3 = 6y ( divide both sides by 6 )

= y, that is

y = 0.5 → A

step-by-step explanation:

if you have 100 bucks, and you want to buy a candy bar, even if you have one at home, if you choose not to buy it, you save.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
