Solve {l}{124x=8}{text{Solvefor}ytext{where}}{y=2x}

$$\left. \begin{array} { l } { 124 x = 8 }\\ { \text{Solve for } y \text{ where} } \\ { y = 2 x } \end{array} \right.$$

Solve for x, y

$$y=\frac{4}{31}\approx 0.129032258$$

Solution Steps

Consider the first equation. Divide both sides by 124.

$$x=\frac{8}{124}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{124} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$x=\frac{2}{31}$$

Consider the second equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$y=2\times \frac{2}{31}$$

Multiply 2 and \frac{2}{31} to get \frac{4}{31}.

$$y=\frac{4}{31}$$

The system is now solved.

$$x=\frac{2}{31} y=\frac{4}{31}$$
