Answer:
Here's the simplest example possible: let's say x + y = 3 and x - y = 1. Solve the second equation for x by adding y to both sides: (x - y) + y = 1 + y. So x = 1 + y. Take that value of x, and substitute it into the first equation given above (x + y = 3).
The two numbers I think is 3&6 because this is a trick question
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
[1] 3x - 4y = -24
[2] -x - 16y = -52
Graphic Representation of the Equations :
-4y + 3x = -24 -16y - x = -52
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x
[2] x = -16y + 52
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
[1] 3•(-16y+52) - 4y = -24
[1] - 52y = -180
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] 52y = 180
[1] y = 45/13
// By now we know this much :
x = -16y+52
y = 45/13
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = -16(45/13)+52 = -44/13
Solution :
{x,y} = {-44/13,45/13}
