How do jackson’s and johnson’s experiences pursuing an education contribute to readers’ understanding of the effects of discrimination?

Jackson fought discrimination to earn advanced engineering

Mary Jackson was an African American mathematician and aerospace engineer at the NACA. She basically fought discrimination to earn advanced engineering degrees that few women and African Americans had ever earned.

Katherine Johnson is an African-American mathematician whose calculations of orbital mechanics as a NASA employee were critical to the success of the first and subsequent U.S. manned spaceflights. She showed her superiors how detailed and reliable a female mathematician can be.

hi,   i believe the outlines that were supposed to be showing at the sentences, are not. could you highlight them somehow?

x=4, y=4

step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-4;

x+2y=12

we can use substitution since the first equation is solved for y

where ever you see y in the second equation, replace it with 2x-4

x + 2(2x-4) = 12

distribute the 2

x+4x-8 = 12

combine like terms

5x-8=12

add 8 to each side

5x-8+8=12+8

5x=20

divide by 5

5x/5 = 20/5

x =4

we still need to solve for y

y = 2x-4

we know x =4

y = 2(4) -4

y = 8-4

y=4
