Answer:

X=2/5

Y=-21/5

Explanation:

solve your system by substitution.

3x−4y=18;9x−2y=12

Step: Solve3x−4y=18for x:

3x−4y=18

3x−4y+4y=18+4y(Add 4y to both sides)

3x=4y+18

3x/3=4y+18/3

(Divide both sides by 3)

x=4/3y+6

Step: Substitute 4/3y+6 for x in 9x −2y=12:

9(4/3y+6)−2y=12

10y+54=12(Simplify both sides of the equation)

10y+54+−54=12+−54(Add -54 to both sides)

10y=−42

10y/10=-42/10 . (Divide both sides by 10)

y=-21/5

Step: Substitute

21/5 fory in x= 4/3y+6

x= 4/3y (-21/5) +6

X=2/5 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

X=2/5

Y=-21/5

HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!!
