In inches, micah is 5 inches shorter than twice the height of jasmine, who is 32 inches tall. how tall is micah in inches?

59 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the format m = 2j - 5 to get the answer (m = micah, j = jasmine)

1. plug in 32 to the equation:

m = 2(32) - 5

2. simplify

m = 64 - 5

m = 59

Micah is 59 inches tall

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
