Answer:
(x, y) = (3, 7)
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide the second equation by 2, it becomes ...
-x +2y = 11
Adding this to the first equation gives you the value of y:
(x -y) +(-x +2y) = (-4) +(11)
y = 7 . . . . . . . . simplify
The first equation can be rearranged to give an expression for x:
x = y -4
x = 7 -4 = 3
Then the solution is seen to be (x, y) = (3, 7).

Personally, I like a graphing calculator for a quick and easy solution to many linear systems. (If the solutions are non-integers, it may not be so helpful.)

We have two solutions for this problem based on the given equation.
<u><em>Answer #1:</em></u>
<u>If the given equation was:</u>
To solve for f, we would need to isolate the "f" on one side of the equation.
In case of the above equation, we can simply do that by subtracting from both sides of the equation
<u>This would give:</u>
f + -
= 6 -
f = 6 -
<u><em>Answer #2:</em></u>
<u>If the given equation was:</u>
To solve for f, we would still need to isolate the "f" on one side of the equation.
<u>This can be done as follows:</u>
................> multiply both sides by (g)
f + 4 = 6g ................> subtract 4 from both sides of the equation
f + 4 - 4 = 6g - 4
f = 6g - 4
Hope this helps :)
