Question

Knowing 6x-y above 4y=2,calculate x and y.

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 0.083   y = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1:

equation 1: 6x -y

equation 2 : 4y = 2

from equation (2)  4y = 2, we calculate value of y to get x

4y = 2 ... divide both sides by 4

4y = 2

4      4       y =  1 /2.   y = 0.5

Step 2:

input the value of  y into the equation 1 to get x.

6x - y = 0

6x - 0.5 = 0

6x- 0.5 + 0.5  = 0 + 0.5   ( Add both sides of the equation by 0.5)

6x = 0.5.... divide both sides of the term by 6

6x   =  0.5

6           6

x =  0.083

therefore, y = 0.5 and x = 0.0833
