Question

3x + 4y = 14 x = 2y - 12 cordanit plane

Answer 1

Answer:

(- 2, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x + 4y = 14 → (1)

x = 2y - 12 → (2)

Substitute x = 2y - 12 into (1)

3(2y - 12) + 4y = 14 ← distribute and simplify left side

6y - 36 + 4y = 14

10y - 36 = 14 ( add 36 to both sides )

10y = 50 ( divide both sides by 10 )

y = 5

Substitute y = 5 into (2) for corresponding value of x

x = 2(5) - 12 = 10 - 12 = - 2

Solution is (- 2, 5 )
