WOW WOW WOW

First of all, I just want to thank my mother, for teaching me that taking candy from strangers is bad, but taking free points from strangers is absolutely acceptable.

I would also like to thank the old lady at the beauty supply store who gave me free chocolate with my purchase of a wig, and told me that I could do anything I set my mind to. Being in this moment, accepting these points from the comfort of my bed with my three loving cats surrounding me made me realize that she was rightjust not in my case.

Last, but not least I want to thank you for answering enough questions to be able to give away fre points, I appreciate you for doing the hard work so that I don't have to, and I will never forget this act of kindness!

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
