Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by multiplying the first equation by 2:

2x + 2y = 12 --> 4x + 4y = 24

Subtract the second from the first:

   4x + 4y = 24

-   5x + 4y = 28

4x - 5x = -x

4y = 4y = 0

24 - 28 = -4

so you end with -x + 0 = -4

Solve for x to get x = 4

Plug x = 4 back into 2x + 2y = 12 to find y.

2(4) + 2y = 12

8 + 2y = 12

2y = 4

y = 2
