Question

$$50-3x=8,x=$$

Solve for x, y

$y=14$

Solution Steps

Consider the first equation. Subtract $50$ from both sides.

$$-3x=8-50$$

Subtract $50$ from $8$ to get $-42$.

$$-3x=-42$$

Divide both sides by $-3$.

$$x=\frac{-42}{-3}$$

Divide $-42$ by $-3$ to get $14$.

$$x=14$$

Consider the second equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$y=14$$

The system is now solved.

$$x=14$$ $$y=14$$
