Solve the simultaneous equation x+y/4=1/2 and x-3y/3=2

Feliz [49]

Answer:

x+y/4 = 1/2

x-3y/3 = 2

move variables to one side:

multiply the first equation by 4 to get: x+y =2

and the second equation by 3 to get: x-3y =6

then subtract the equations to cancel out x:

x+y = 2

- x-3y = 6

then u get

y--3y = 2-6

4y = -4

y=-1

substitute to solve for x:

x-1 / 4 =1/2

x-1 = 2

x=3

check:

3+-1

2/4= 1/2

correct!!!
