6x+3y=33..........(1)

4x+y=15

y=15-4x.........(2)

substitute value of y from (2) in (1)

6x+3(15-4x)=33

distribute 3 over the bracket

6x+45-12x =33

-6x=33-45

-6x=-12

x=2

plugging this value of x in equation 2 we get

15-4x=y

15-4(2)=y

y=15-8

y=7

Answer is x=2 and y=7

In order to solve the following system of equations by addition, which of the

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Multiply the top equation by -3 and the bottom equation by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations:

$\begin{cases}4x-2y=7\\3x-3y=15 \end{cases}$

To solve the given system of equations by addition, make one of the variables in both equations sum to zero. To do this, the chosen variable must have the same coefficient, but it should be negative in one equation and positive in the other, so that when the two equations are added together, the variable is eliminated.

To eliminate the variable y:

Multiply the top equation by -3 to make the coefficient of the y variable 6:

$\implies -3(4x-2y=7) \implies -12x+6y=-21$
