Solve using elimination 2x+5y=34 x+2y=14

2x + 5y = 34

x+2y = 14

Multiply the second equation by two to create like terms for one variable.

2(x+2y = 14)

2x + 4y = 28

2x + 5y = 34

2x + 4y = 28 -- Subtract.

y = 34.28 = 6

Solve for x

x + 2(6) = 14

x + 12 = 14

x = 2

Check:

2 + 2(6) = 14

2 + 12 = 14

14 = 14

X = 2

Y = 6

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
