Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 6x - 4y = 2 → (1)

- 4x - 7y = 2 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by 4 and (2) by - 6 will eliminate the x- term

- 24x - 16y = 8 → (3)

24x + 42y = - 12 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term

26y = - 4 ( divide both sides by  26 )

y = \frac{-4}{26} = - \frac{2}{13}

What is the answer to y=6x−8 y=−3x+10 as an ordered pair
kompoz [17]

Answer:

(2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution, set the equations equal to each other, then solve for x:

6x - 8 = -3x + 10

9x - 8 = 10

9x = 18

x = 2

Now, find the y value by plugging in 2 as x into one of the equations, and solve for y:

y = 6x - 8

y = 6(2) - 8

y = 12 - 8

y = 4

So, the solution as an ordered pair is (2, 4)
