Find x, when y=2x PLEASE HELP, plz give working out and explain

Since y=2x you can replace y with 2x in the first equation. (substitution)
4(2x) + 2x = 150
Then multiply the 4 and 2 to get 8x and add the like terms.
8x + 2x = 150
10x = 150
Then divide by 10 on both sides, the left side is left with just x and your answer on the right.
10x/10 = 150/10
x = 15
[1]4y + 2x = 150
[2] y = 2x
substitute y (from [2]) into [1]
4(2x) + 2x = 150
8x + 2x = 150
10x = 150
x = 15
y = 2(15) – (from [2])
y = 30
4y + 2x = 150 ………. (1)
Now, y = 2x. Substitute y into equation (1).
4( 2x ) + 2x = 150
8x + 2x = 150
10x = 150
So; x = 150 / 10
x = 15
x= 15
y=2x————–eqn1
4y+2x=150
4(2x)+2x=150 {from eqn1}
10x=150
x=15
all wha we got to do is substitute the value of y in the given equation
