-12
The solution set is the answers that make an equation true. So I would call it the solution.
Yes, because the equation is linear, there is only one solution:4x - 3 = 12 +2x4x - 2x = 12 + 32x = 15x = 7.5There is no other solution
The equation 6 + y = 12 is a simple equation in one variable. If you add 6 to both sides of the equals sign, you get y = 18, and that is the solution.
[x = -4, y = 3]. There is more than 1 way to solve. Here's one:multiply second equation by 4: -8x - 8y = 8add to first equation {eliminating y}: -12x = 48divide this by -12: x = -4.Now substitute x = -4 into either of the original equations:-2(-4) - 2y = 28 - 2y = 2 ---> -2y = -6 ---> y = 3.Check in the other equation: -4(-4) + 8(3) = 16 + 24 = 40 [checks out]
y=3x
Given the ordered pair (3, y), what value of ywould make the ordered pair a solution of the equation 4x − 2y = 24?12
x = 12 y = 2 (12,2) satifies the equation

-x+y=12is the equation of a line and since there are infinitely many points on the line and each point is represented by an ordered pair, we have infinitely many solutions.If we take x as 0, then y must be 12so (0,12) is one ordered pair that is a solution to the equation.Zero is often a nice number to pick since it makes the calculation a bit easier.
y=17x=3============================Another contributor added:There's no such thing as 'the' solution, because there are an infinite number ofordered pairs that satisfy the equation. It's the equation of a straight line, andevery point on the line is a 'solution'.The pair (3, 17) given above is a perfectly good one. Here are some more:(1, 7)(2, 12)(4, 22)(5, 27)(0.6, 5)(2 million, 10 million and 2)
This can be done with the equation (x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2 which, when solved, creates a (x,x) solution, or a coordinate pair solution. if you had the points (2,4) and (4,8) you would put x1 (2) plus (+) x2 (4) divided by 2, and 2+4 is 6, and 6/2 is 3, so we know our midpoint x value is 3. Then, we would plug in our 'y' values, so we would have y1 (4) + y2 (8) and 4+8 = 12 and 12/2 is 6, so our solution coordinate ordered pair would be (3,6).
No. 3a 12 plus a 6 is not a solution Of an equation.

f(2) = -2 + 12 = 10 so the ordered pair is (-2, 10).
x - y = 1 so x = y+1 15(y+1) - 4y = -3 15y + 15 - 4y = -3 11y = 12 y = 12/11 x = 12/11 + 1 = 23/11 Ordered pair, then, is (23/11, 12/11)
