Question

2. 4x - 2y = -6
-6x + 2y = 2

Answer 1

x = 2, y =7

Explanation:

4x - 2y = -6

-6x + 2y = 2

Add the equations together

4x - 2y = -6

-6x + 2y = 2

-----------------------

-2x = -4

Divide each side by -2

-2x/-2 = -4/-2

x = 2

now find y

-6x+2y =2

-6(2) +2y =2

-12+2y =2

Add 12 to each side

-12+12+2y = 2+12

2y =14

Divide by 2

2y/2 =14/2

y =7
