Answer:
2x + y = 18
y = 4x - 12
x = 5, y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 1st number
y = 2nd number
We can use the substitution method as we know what 'y' equals; that value will get plugged in for 'y' in the first equation as follows:
2x + 4x - 12 = 18
6x - 12 = 18
6x = 30
x = 5
y = 4(5) - 12 which is 20-12 or 8
y = 8
