Question

2x + 6y= 8 4x + 12y = 16

Answer 1

Answer:

x=0 , y=0

Step-by-step explanation:

2x +6y= 8 .....eqn 1

4x +12y= 16....eqn2

we multiply eqn 1 by 2.. because we want at least one variable to have the same coefficient so we can simply.

2x +6y =8... ×2

will give you 4x +12y = 16....eqn 3

so now we subtract eqn 2 from eqn 3

4x + 12y= 16

- 4x + 12y = 16

_____________

0 + 0 = 0

therefore x = 0 and y= 0
