Question

A system of equations is shown below 3x+6=4y 3x-2y=0 what is the x value in the solution to the system

Answer 1

x = 2

Explanation

Given the system of equation

3x+6=4y ... 1

3x-2y=0 ... 2

From 2, 3x =2y... 3

Substitute equation 3 into 1:

3x+6 = 4y

2y+6= 4y

2y-4y = -6

-2y = -6

y = -6/-2

y = 3

Substitute y = 3 into equation 2;

From2; 3x -2y = 0

3x = 2y

3x = 2(3)

x = 2

Hence the value of x is 2
