How to solve this problem

So first, you have to get two of the same variables to cancel out. Let's do this for x. In order for the x's to cancel out, we could multiply the bottom problem by 2.
(2) 3x-6y=24
After multiplying all the numbers by 2, you get the equation 6x-12y=48
The set of equations is now
-6x+2y=12
6x-12y=48
Now you can add them. The x variables cancel out, so you are left with the y variable.
2y+-12y=-10y and 12+48=60
Then you would divide 60 by -10 to get y=-6.
You would plug the answer for y into one of the original equations, lets do the top one. -6x+2y=12 becomes -6x+2(-6)=12
You'd multiply the 2 and -6 to get -12 so the equation is
-6x-12=12
The negative 12 turn positive and you add to both sides to get the -6x alone.
-6x-12=12
+12=12
-6x=24
Then divide 24 by -6
X=4

(-4,-6) is your final answer.

Find the solution to the following system of equations?<br> x - 2y = 5<br> -x + y = 3
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

x = -11 and y= -8 is the solution to the system

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x - 2y = 5    let it be equation (i)

-x + y = 3     let it be equation (ii)

To find:

x = ?

y = ?

Solution:

The equations are given to us from which we are supposed to find the values of x and y

Taking first equation which is

x - 2y = 5    

adding 2y on both sides

x - 2 y + 2y = 5 + 2y

x = 5 +2y                   ............................(iii)

Now putting this value in equation (ii)

which is

-x + y = 3

Putting value gives

-(5 + 2y) + y = 3

-5 -2y+y = 3

-5 - y = 3

adding 5 on both sides

-5 -y + 5 = 3 + 5

-y = 8

Multiplying both sides by (-1)

-y(-1) = 8 * (-1)

y = -8

Now we have equation (iii) which is

x = 5 + 2y

putting the value of y in it

x = 5 + 2*(-8)

x = 5 -16

x = -11

so the solution to the system is

x = -11 and y= -8
