Question

Four times one number minus three times another number is 12. Two times the first number added to three times to the second number is 6. Find the numbers. Write equations and solve the system using elimination

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = first number, y = second number

4x - 3y = 12

2x + 3y = 6

------------------add

6x = 18

x = 18/6

x = 3

4x - 3y = 12

4(3) - 3y = 12

12 - 3y = 12

-3y = 12 - 12

-3y = 0

y = 0

solution : (3,0)
