Answer:
see explanation
Explanation:
given the 2 equations
4x + y = 2 → (1)
- 2x + y = 5 → (2)
Eliminate the term in y by subtracting (2) from (1) term by term
(4x - (- 2x) + (y - y) = (2-5)
6x = - 3 ( divide both sides by 6 )
x =
= -
![(1)/(2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/ybjkeso7qr5r7js5h0mv9de35dih0sxfpl.png)
substitute this value into either (1) or (2) and solve for y
(1) : - 2 + y = 2 ( add 2 to both sides )
y = 4
solution is ( -
