Question

What is the result of subtracting the second equation from the first? \begin{aligned} x-3y &= 6 \\\\ -8x-y &= 6 \end{aligned} x−3y −8x−y ​ =6 =6 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore the required result is 9x-2y =0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation are

x-3y =6.....(1)

-8x-y=6 .....(2)

Subtracting equation (2) from (1)

 x  -  3y = 6

-8x  -  y=  6

+     +      -                 [ The sign of equation (2)  will be change in case of          

_________               subtraction and in case of plus the signs remains same ]

(x+8x)-3y+y=6-6   [ adding the like terms]

⇒9x-2y =0

Therefore the required result is 9x-2y =0.
