Question

X+2y=0 3x+4y=4 find the solution

Answer 1

Answer:

  (x, y) = (4, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of y in the second equation is double the coefficient of y in the first. We can subtract twice the first equation from the second to eliminate y.

  (3x +4) -2(x +2y) = (4) -2(0)

  x = 4 . . . . . . . . . simplify

Substituting into the first equation, we have ...

  4 +2y = 0

  2 +y = 0 . . . . . . divide by 2

  y = -2 . . . . . . . . subtract 2

The solution is (x, y) = (4, -2).
