Proof:
Solve the following system:
{4 x + 3 y = 12 | (equation 1)
{2 x + 3 y = -6 | (equation 2)
Subtract 1/2 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{4 x + 3 y = 12 | (equation 1)
{0 x+(3 y)/2 = -12 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 2/3:
{4 x + 3 y = 12 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = -8 | (equation 2)
Subtract 3 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{4 x+0 y = 36 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = -8 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 4:
{x+0 y = 9 | (equation 1)
{0 x+y = -8 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = 9 , y = -8</span>
