Question

Solve this system of linear equation. Supérate the x- and y-values with a comma. 2x+4y=-48 4x-9y=57

Answer 1

Answer:

(x,y) = (-6.12,-11.76)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+4y=-48 => eq(i)

4x-9y=57  => eq(ii)

We need to solve these equations simultaneously to find the values of x and y.

Multiplying eq(i) with 2 and subtracting both equations

4x + 16y = -96

4x - 9y  = 57

-    +         -

__________

25 y = -153

y = -153/25

y = -6.12

Putting value of y in eq(i)

2x + 4(-6.12) = - 48

2x - 24.48 = -48

2x = -48 + 24.48

2x = -23.52

x= -23.52/2

x= -11.76

So, values of x and y are -6.12 and -11.76

(x,y) = (-6.12,-11.76)
