12x + 4y = 152 32x + 12y = 420 what is y?

the value of x = 9  and y =11.

Given the system of equation:

12x + 4y =152                  [1]

32x + 12y = 420              [2]

Multiply equation [1] by 3 we get;

Using distributive property:  

            [3]

On solving equation [2] and [3] simultaneously we get;

x = 9

Substitute the value of x= 9 in [1] to solve for y;

108 + 4y = 152

Subtract 108 from both sides we have;

108 + 4y -108 = 152- 108

Simplify:

4y = 44

Divide both sides by 4 we get;

Simplify:

y= 11

therefore, the value of x = 9  and y =11.

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
