Answer:
(0, 3 )
Explanation:
Given the 2 equations
- x - 6y = - 18 → (1)
- 8x + y = 3 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by 6 and adding to (1) will eliminate the y- term
- 48x + 6y = 18 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y , that is
- 49x + 0 = 0
- 49x = 0 , thus
x = 0
Substitute x = 0 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (2)
- 8(0) + y = 3
y = 3
solution is (0, 3 )
