Question

I need help with these two equations

Answer 1

for these you need to rearrange the equations and do substitutions.

#3 = if x+y=5 then you know x = 5-y

now substitute that equation for x in the 2nd one so x + 2y = 8 becomes

5-y + 2y = 8 2y - y becomes 1y which becomes y then subtract 5 from each side to get y =3

now replace y with 3 in the first equation x = 5-3 so x = 2

so (2,3) is the answer

same type of work for #4

2x-y=6 ,S0 y = 2X+6

so now you have 4x+2(2x+6)=-4

that becomes 4x +4x+12 = -4

8x+8 = 1, x =1

y = 2(1)-6 = -4

so answer is (1,-4)
