What is the solution to the system of equations?

Help

If you are asked if a point is a solution to an equation, we replace the variables with the given values and see if the 2 sides of the equation are equal (so is a solution), or not equal (so not a solution). A solution to a system of equations means the point must work in both equations in the system.

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
