Solve the system of equations by substitution: y= x - 2 x + y = 12

(7,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of equations is 2 or more equations for which the same x,y solution exists. We can solve the system in three ways: elimination, substitution, or graphing. Substitution can be used by substituting the value of one variable into the equation.

Because y=x-2, we can substitute x-2 into y in x+y=12.

x+(x-2)=12

x+x-2=12

2x-2=12

2x-2+2=12+2

2x=14

x=7

We now substitute x=7 into y=x-2.

y=(7)-2

y=5

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
