Answer:
(x, y) = (5, 4)
Explanation:
Subtracting the second equation from the first eliminates the x term.
(4x +6y) -(4x +2y) = (44) -(28)
4y = 16 . . . . simplify
y = 4
Using the second equation to find x, we have ...
4x +2(4) = 28
x + 2 = 7 . . . . . . divide by 4
x = 5 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2
The solution is (x, y) = (5, 4).
