Question

4x-12y=-20 substitution method

Answer 1

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.
