Question

Solve for x, y: 3x - 2y =6
X/3 - y/6 =1/2​

Answer 1

3x - 2y = 6 -----(Eq.1)

x/3 - y/6 = 1/2

Taking LCM = 6

(2x - y)/6 = 1/2

Cross multuplication

2(2x - y) = 1 × 6

4x - 2y = 6 ----(Eq.2)

3x - 2y = 6

4x - 2y = 6

- + = -

........................

-x = 0

x = 0

Substituting the value of x in eq. 1

3x - 2y = 6

3(0) - 2y = 6

0 - 2y = 6

2y = -6

y = -3

x = 0 and y= -3
