Answer:
[tex]x=8[/tex]
[tex]y=24[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2y=72
If y=3x, we plug it into our equation and get:
3x+2×3x=72
3x+6x=72
9x=72
Divide both sides by 9
x=8
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 2y = 72
Put y as (3x), and solve for x.
3x + 2(3x) = 72
Multiply 2(3x).
3x + 6x = 72
Add like terms 3x and 6x.
9x = 72
Divide 9 into both sides and isolate x.
x = 72/9
x = 8
The value of x is 8.
