Answer:
(6,-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 6
x + y = 4
Multiply the second equation by -2 to eliminate x
-2(x+y) = -2*4
-2x-2y = -8
Add this to the first equation
2x + 3y = 6
-2x -2y = -8
---------------------
y = -2
Now we need to find x
x+y = 4
x-2 = 4
Add 2 to each side
x-2+2 = 4+2
x = 6
(6,-2)
Answer:
(6,-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equations are [tex]2x + 3y = 6[/tex] and [tex]x + y = 4[/tex].
Solve 2nd equation [tex]x + y = 4[/tex] for y
[tex]x + y = 4[/tex]
[tex]y = 4-x[/tex] ...(i)
Plug value of y from equation (i) into first equation [tex]2x + 3y = 6[/tex]
[tex]2x + 3(4-x) = 6[/tex]
[tex]2x + 12-3x = 6[/tex]
[tex]12-x = 6[/tex]
[tex]-x = 6-12[/tex]
[tex]-x = -6[/tex]
[tex]x = 6[/tex]
Plug x=6 into equation (i)
[tex]y = 4-x[/tex]
[tex]y = 4-6[/tex]
[tex]y = -2[/tex]
Hence final answer is x=6, y=-2 or we can write that in (x,y) form as (6,-2)
