Question

What is the solution to the following system of equations:7x+2y=248x+2y=30​

Answer 1

Answer:

7x +2y =24 --------- (i)

8x +2y= 30 ---------(ii)

Subtracting eqn. (i) & (ii)

7x +2y =24

8x +2y= 30

- - -

___________

-x = - 6

Putting the value of x in eqn. (i)

7*6 +2y =24

42 +2y =24

2y =-18

y = - 9

Hence, x=6 and y= - 9

Hope it helps!!
