Answer:
(5, - 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
6x + 3y = 12 → (1)
6x - 5y = 60 → (2)
Multiply (2) by - 1 and add to (1) will eliminate the term in x
- 6x + 5y = - 60 → (3 )
Add (1) and (3) term by term
(6x - 6x) + (3y + 5y) = (12 - 60)
8y = - 48 ( divide both sides by 8 )
y = - 6
Substitute y = - 6 into (1) or (2) and siolve for x
Using (1), then
6x - 18 = 12 ( add 18 to both sides )
6x = 30 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x = 5
Solution is (5, - 6)
