If we solve the equations x-2y=5 and 4x+12y=-20 then we will get x=1 and y=-2.
Given two equations x-2y=5 and 4x+12y=-20.
We are required to find the value of x and y through substitution method.
Equation is like a relationship between two or more variables expressed in equal to form. Equations of two variables look like ax+by=c. Equation can be a linear equation,quadratic equation, cubic equation or many more depending on the power of variable.
They can be solved as under:
x-2y=5---------------1
4x+12y=-20--------2
Finding value of variable x from equation 1.
x=5+2y--------------3
Use the value of variable x in equation 2.
4x+12y=-20
4(5+2y)+12y=-20
20+8y+12y=-20
20y=-20-20
20y=-40
y=-40/20
y=-2
Use the value of variable y in equation 3.
x=5+2y
x=5+2*(-2)
x=5-4
x=1
Hence if we solve the equations x-2y=5 and 4x+12y=-20 then we will get x=1 and y=-2.
Question is incomplete as it should include one more equation x-2y=5.
