Question

What is the solution of the system? 10x – 2y = 24 6x+2y = 8

Answer 1

Answer: x = 2 , y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

10x - 2y = 24 ..................... equation 1

6x + 2y = 8 ........................ equation 2

solving the system of linear equation by elimination method , add equation 1 and 2

16x = 32

divide through by 16

x = 2

substitute x = 2 into equation 1 to find the value of y

10(2) - 2y = 2y

20 - 2y = 2y

20 = 4y

y = 5
