Describe the process

x = 1

y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + y = 15

Step 1: Move 5x on the other side by subtracting it from both sides

y = 15 - 5x

2x + y = 12

Step 2: Move 2x on the other side by subtracting it from both sides

y = 12 - 2x

Since y = y, that means 15 - 5x = 12 - 2x

Step 3: Add 5x to both sides

15 = 12 + 3x

Step 4: Subtract 12 from both sides

3 = 3x

Step 5: Divide both sides by 3

x = 1

y = 12 - 2x

Step 6: Plug in 1 for x

y = 12 - 2(1)

Step 7: Multiply 2 by 1

y = 12 - 2

Step 8: Subtract 2 from 12

y = 10

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
