Question

Find the solution of this system of equations. Separate the x- and y-values with a comma. x - 4y = 12 and x - y = 0

Answer 1

Use elimination and subtitution method to solve the problem.
First, eliminate x and you'll find the value of y
x - 4y = 12
x - y = 0
--------------- - (substract)
-3y = 12
y = 12/-3
y = -4

Second, subtitute -4 as y and you'll find the value of x
x - y = 0
x- (-4) = 0
x + 4 = 0
x = -4

The solution
x,y = -4,-4
