1. y = 3 x y = -8x2. y = - 7x y =-4x - 12

(1)

both equations express y in term of x, hence equate the right sides

- 8x = 3x ( subtract 3x from both sides )

- 11x = 0 ( divide both sides by - 11 )

x = 0

substitute x = 0 into y = 3x → y = 0

solution is : (x, y ) → (0, 0)

(2)

both equations express y in terms of x, hence equate the right sides

- 4x - 12 = - 7x ( add 7x to both sides )

3x - 12 = 0 ( add 12 to both sides )

3x = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 4

substitute x = 4 into y = - 7x → y = - 28

solution is : (x, y ) = (4, - 28 )

idk

step-by-step explanation:

i don't know

a variable is any characteristics, number, or quantity that can be measured or counted. a variable may also be called a data item. hope i !
