Question

Solve for x and y: (2x+4y)
(3x-2y)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

2x + -4y + 3x + -2y = 0

Reorder the terms:

2x + 3x + -4y + -2y = 0

Combine like terms: 2x + 3x = 5x

5x + -4y + -2y = 0

Combine like terms: -4y + -2y = -6y

5x + -6y = 0

Solving

5x + -6y = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '6y' to each side of the equation.

5x + -6y + 6y = 0 + 6y

Combine like terms: -6y + 6y = 0

5x + 0 = 0 + 6y

5x = 0 + 6y

Remove the zero:

5x = 6y

Divide each side by '5'.

x = 1.2y

Simplifying

x = 1.2y
