Answer x=2, y=12
( 2, 12)


Step by step

12x + 2y = 24

We can find x and y solutions by giving x = 0 to solve for y and y=0 to solve for x

Solve for x
12x + 2(0) = 24
12x + 0 = 24

Divide both sides by 12 to solve x

12/12 x = 24/12
Simplify

x = 2

Solve for y

12(0) + 2y = 24
0 + 2y = 24

Divide both sides by 2 to solve y

2/2 y = 24/2
Simplify

y = 12

So x=2, y=12
