You are on a holiday with friends in another area and are due to return home in four days’ time. Unfortunately, you have had an accident which will prevent you from travelling at least a week. Write a letter to your parents, informing them about the whole situation.

Dear mom and dad,

How are you? I am writing to inform you that I had an unfortunate accident during my holiday.

I was due to return home in four days. Due to my misfortune, I had an accident that will prevent me from travelling for at least a week.

I hope that you understand that I cannot get back home as soon as planned.

Best regards,

Jack

x=4, y=4

step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-4;

x+2y=12

we can use substitution since the first equation is solved for y

where ever you see y in the second equation, replace it with 2x-4

x + 2(2x-4) = 12

distribute the 2

x+4x-8 = 12

combine like terms

5x-8=12

add 8 to each side

5x-8+8=12+8

5x=20

divide by 5

5x/5 = 20/5

x =4

we still need to solve for y

y = 2x-4

we know x =4

y = 2(4) -4

y = 8-4

y=4
