Question

solve by elimination method,x+y/2=4,x/3+2y=5

Answer 1

hey...

this is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are:

$x+\frac{y}{2}=4$ and $\frac{x}{3}+2y=5$ which can be rewritten as:

$2x+y=8$                                            (1)

and $x+6y=15$                                   (2)

Multiplying equation (2) by 2 and then subtracting the same equation from equation (1), we get

$-11y=-22$

$y=2$

Substituting the value of y in equation (2), we get

$x+6(2)=15$

$x=3$
