Solve these simultaneous equations: 3x = y and x = y - 16

x=8

y=24

Step-by-step explanation:

3x=y

x=y-16

Substitute y for 3x

x=3x-16

Add 16 to each side

x+16=3x

Subtract x

16=2x

Divide each side by 2

8=x

y=3x=3×8=24

y=24

step-by-step explanation:

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.
