Question

Omg help me please like I just can't right now 2x-6y= -12 x+2y=14

Answer 1

here,

2x-6y= -12

2(x-3y)= -12

x-3y = -6...........eq1

x+2y=14............eq2

we can subtract the above two given equations

we get,

$x - 3y = - 6 \\ x + 2y = 14$

___________

$- 5y = - 20$

so,

y=4

now to find the value of x we have to substitute the value of y in any of the above two equations, I choose eq2

we get,

$x + 2y = 14 \\ x + 2 \times 4 = 14 \\ x + 8 = 14 \\ x = 14 - 8 \\ x = 6$

so,

x=6,y=4
