Question

1. Solve the following systems of equations:
1 x - 2y = 0
i) x + y = 2
3x + 4y = 20
2x+2y= 4​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Elimination Method

x-2y=0.............1

3x+4y=20........2

For y

Multiply equation 1 by 3

we get,

3x   -  6y  =  0

3x  +  4y  =  20

(-)   (-)         (-)

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

0      -10y = -20

-10y= -20

10y= 20

y=2

For x

multiply equation 1 by 2

we get,

2x  - 4y  = 0

3x  +4y  =20

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

5x +0    =20

5x=20

x=4

hence, x =4 and y =2
