Question

X+2y=5 and 4x-12y=-20 substitution and elimination method

Answer 1

By solving the equations x+2y=5, 4x-12y=-20 through elimination or substitution method we will get the value of x=1 and y=2.

Given two equations x+2y=5 and 4x-12y=-20.

We are required to solve the equations through elimination and substitution method.

Firstly we will solve the equations through elimination method.

x+2y=5-------------1

4x-12y=-20--------2

Multiply the equation 1 by 4 and then subtract the equation 2 from equation 1.

4x+8y-4x+12y=20+20

20y=40

y=2

Use the value of y in 1

x=5-2*2

x=5-4

x=1

From substitution method.

First find the value of x from first equation in terms of y.

x=5-2y-----4

Now put this value in second equation to get the value of y.

4(5-2y)-12y=-20

20-8y-12y=-20

20-20y=-20

-20y=-40

y=2

Put the value of y in equation 4.

x=5-2y

x=5-2*2

x=5-4

x=1

Hence by solving the equations x+2y=5, 4x-12y=-20 through elimination or substitution method we will get the value of x=1 and y=2.
