Answer:
x=1 and y=6
Step-by-step explanation:
10x+2y=22
3x-4y=-21
First at all, you have to multiply both sides of this equation of 10x+2y=22, like this,
2(10x+2y)=2*22
*Put the 2 for the both sides.
Then, expand them.
20x+4y=44
When we have 20x+4y=44, we can eliminate with another equation.
20x+4y=44
3x-4y=-21
So, the first equation has +4y and the second equation has -4y, so we can use elimination method to eliminate one variable.
This time we can sum these equation to get one variable to get the answer easily. Like this...
20x+4y=44
3x-4y=-21
to become...
23x=23
x=23/23
x=1
When we get the equation like this, we can divide 23 by 23, so we can get the value of x. So, the value of x is 1.
When we know x is equal to 1, we can do the last part substitute x=1 into the second equation which is 3x-4y=-21.
The following steps is like this:
Substitute x=1 into 3x-4y=-21,
3(1)-4y= -21
3-4y= -21
Move the 3 to the another side, like this;
-4y= -21-3
-4y= -24
y= -24/ -4
y=6
*Be careful! When you calculate -24/-4 , you have to know how to eliminate the negative sign. (-) / (-) = +
Negative number divided by negative number is equal to positive number.
So, here we go! the value of x is 1 and the value of y is 6.
That is my solution and explanation from me. I hope you can understand. Bye!
