Answer:
x = 9 , y =3
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x + y = 0 ---- 1
2x -2y = -12 -----2
By elimination method:
let's first eliminate x
we can do that by making x equal in both equations
multiply equation 1 by 2 ( because 2 is the coefficient of x in equation 2 and remember we want to equate both equations)
multiply equation 2 by -3 ( because -3 is the coefficient of x in equation 2 and remember we want to equate them both)
-3x + y = 0 ×2
2x -2y = -12 ×-3
-6x + 2y = 0 ----3
-6x + 6y = 36 -----4
subtract equation 4 from 3
that will give
0-4y = -36
which is
-4y = -36
divide both sides by coefficient of y which is-4
(-4y) ÷ (-4) = (-36)÷(-4)
answer : y= 9
substitute 9 for y in equation 1
-3x + y = 0
-3x + 9 = 0
subtract 9 from both sides
-3x +9-9= 0-9
-3x = -9
divide both sides by coefficient of x which is-3
(-3x)÷(-3) = (-9÷-3)
x = 3
