Question

find the value of x and y​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 3x + 5y = 26

b) 2x + 2y = 12

Step One: We need to find a way to equate either the x terms of the y terms in each equation. Multiply equation a) by 2 and equation b) by 3 to form the following equations.

a) 6x + 10y = 52

b) 6x + 6y = 36

Step Two: Take equation b) from equation a) to eliminate the x component.

a) 6x + 10y = 52

- b) 6x + 6y = 36

0x + 4y = 16

y = 4

Step Three: substitute the value of y into either equation to find the value of x.

b) 2x + 2y = 12

2x + (2x4) =12

2x + 8 = 12

2x = 4

x = 2

x=2 y=4
