URGENT WILL MARK BRAINLIEST Show your work and solve for x and y.3x + y = 82x + 4y = 12​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=2, y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(3x+y=8)

3(2x+4y=12)

-6x+-2y=-16

6x+12y=36

0+10y=20

       y=2

3x+2=8

3x=6

x=2

Answer 2

• 3x+y=8--(1)

2x+4y=12

• x+2y=6--(2)

• (1)×1 and (2)×3

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 3x+y=8$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 3x+6y=18$

Subtract both

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow -5y=-10$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=\dfrac{-10}{-5}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=2$

Put the value in eq(2)

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x+2(2)=6$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x+4=6$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x=6-4=2$
