2x + 4y = 12 y = x - 3 What is the solution to the system of equations?

2x+4y=12

y=x-3

Since we know what y equals, we can plug this into the first equation:

2x+4 (x-3) = 12

We can then distribute:

2x+4x-12=12

And solve for x:

6x-12=12

6x=24

x=4

We can then plug x into the second equation and find y:

y=x-3

y=4-3

y=1

Therefore x=4 and y=1
