Question

Find the values of x and y if (2x-3, 6) = (4 x +y)​

Answer 1

Question:

Find the values of x and y if (2x-3, 6) = (4, x + y)​

We know that 2x - 3 = 4

We also know that 6 = x + y

By using the first equation, we can figure out x:

2x = 7

x = 3.5

Now, we know that 6 = 3.5 + y

Therefore, y = 2.5

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x - 3y = 4 - - - eq1$

$x + y = 6 - - - eq2$

$(x + y = 6 ) \times 3$

$2x - 3y = 4 \\ 3x + 3y = 18 \\ + \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: + \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: +$

$5x = 22 \\ x = \frac{22}{5}$

=4.4

$4.4 + y = 6 \\ y = 6 - 4.4 \\ y = 2.4$
