<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>
- Given the system of equations.
- Solve the system of equations by eliminating either x-term or y-term. We will eliminate the y-term as it is faster to solve the equation.
To eliminate the y-term, we have to multiply the negative in either the first or second equation so we can get rid of the y-term. I will multiply negative in the second equation.
There as we can get rid of the y-term by adding both equations.
Hence, the value of x is 3. But we are not finished yet because we need to find the value of y as well. Therefore, we substitute the value of x in any given equations. I will substitute the value of x in the second equation.
Hence, the value of y is 4. Therefore, we can say that when x = 3, y = 4.
- Answer Check by substituting both x and y values in both equations.
<u>First</u><u> </u><u>Equation</u>
<u>Second</u><u> </u><u>Equation</u>
Hence, both equations are true for x = 3 and y = 4. Therefore, the solution is (3,4)
