Answer:

x = 4

y = - 8

Explanation:

3x + y = 4

2x + y = 0

(3x + y ) (-1 ) = 4 ( - 1 )

2x + y = 0

- ( 3x + y ) = - 4

2x + y = 0

Step 1:

Choose either Substitution or elimination method to solve system of equation.

Step 2:

If you choose substitution,

firstly, name the equation

3x + y = 4 .............................1

2x + y = 0 ..............................2

secondly, choose one of the equation and make one of the varable subject of the relation

2x + y = 0 .......................1

y = -2x

Step3

substitute y in equation 2

3x + (-2x) = 4

3x - 2x = 4

x = 4

Step 4:

find y from y = -2x

y = -2(4)

y = -8

( 4 ), ( -8 )
