Answer: X=-2 & Y=5/2
Explanation:
STEP 1: Find the given equations
x+2y=3 and 3x+4y=1
STEP 2: Try to equate any of the terms by multiplying either of the equations.
HERE, we can multiply the equation x+2y=3 by 2
WE GET, 2x+4y=6 and we can see that 4y terms is common in both te equations
STEP 3: cancel out the matching terms by simple addition or subtraction of the equations.
after solving we get, x=-2.
STEP 4: put the value of x in any of the two quations to get the value of y.
WE GET, the value of y as 5/2.
