Question

What is the solution to the system of equations? 6x+2y=67x+3y=5

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 2, y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 2y = 6         (multiplying by 3)

18x + 6y = 18    -----> (i)  

7x + 3y = 5 (multiplying by 2)

14x + 6y = 10    -----> (ii)

Subtracting (i) from (ii)

18x + 6y - 14x + 6y = 18 - 10

4x = 8

x = 2

Substituting in (ii)

14x + 6y = 10

14(2) + 6y = 10

28 + 6y = 10

6y = -18

y = -3

Answer 2

The answer is (2,-3)
