Answer:
A) 5x - 2y = 12
B) 3x + 2y = 36 Adding both equations eliminates "y"
8x = 48
x = 6 Putting x=6 into equation B we get
3*6 + 2y = 36
2y = 18
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=71
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(-2,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution is the point at which the two lines intersect, (-2,4). That point is the only one that satisfies (works) in both equations:
y = x + 6
4 = -2 + 6
and
y = -0.5x + 3
4 = -0.5(-2) + 3
4 = 1 + 3
====
You can also solve it algebraically:
y = x + 6
y = -0.5x + 3
-0.5x + 3 = x + 6 [Use the value of y from the second equation in the first equation]
-1.5x = 3
x = -2
Use this is y = -2 + 6:
y = 4
(-2,4)
