Question

The linear combination method is applied to a system of equations as shown. 4(.25x + .5y = 3.75) → x + 2y = 15 (4x – 8y = 12) → x – 2y = 3 2x = 18

Answer 1

Answer:

x+2y=12-------(1)

x-2y=3---------(2)

Adding equations 1 and 2

we get

2x=18

x=9

Equation 1

9+2y=15

2y=15-9

2y=6

y=3

The solution of the given system is x=9, y=3
