What was the value of x and y for the following equations? Equation 1: 2/3 (x-6) = 6 Equation 2: 2/3y - 6 = 6 x = 15, y = 15 x = 18, y = 15 x = 18, y = 18 x = 15, y = 18

Respuesta :

The value of x is 15 and value of y is 18

Solution:

Given equations are:

[tex]\frac{2}{3}(x - 6) = 6\\\\\frac{2}{3}y - 6 = 6[/tex]

From first equation,

[tex]\frac{2}{3}(x - 6) = 6\\\\Remove\ the\ parenthesis\ and\ solve\\\\\frac{2}{3}x - \frac{2}{3} \times 6 = 6\\\\\frac{2}{3}x - 4 = 6\\\\Move\ the\ constant\ from\ left\ side\ to\ right\ side\\\\\frac{2}{3}x = 6 + 4\\\\\frac{2}{3}x= 10\\\\2x = 30\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by 2\\\\x = 15[/tex]

From second equation,

[tex]\frac{2}{3}y - 6 = 6\\\\Move\ the\ constant\ from\ left\ side\ to\ right\ side\ of\ equation\\\\\frac{2}{3}y = 6 + 6\\\\\frac{2}{3}y = 12\\\\2y = 36\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\y = 18[/tex]

Thus value of x is 15 and value of y is 18
