Answer:
(4.5, 2) (If you are looking for the point)
y = 2 (if you are looking for Y)
x = 4.5 or 18/4 (if you are looking for X)
Explanation:
4x + 3y = 24 and 4x - 3y = 12
Lets do the elimination method for this
4x + 3y = 24
4x - 3y = 12
minus the equations from each other and we get 6y = 12, divide both sides by 6 and we get y = 2
We insert 2 into the y's in one of the equations, most preferably the easiest one so we are going with the second one.
4x-3y=12, replace y with 2 and we get 4x-3(2)=12
simplify that equation and we get 4x-6=12, add 6 to both sides and we get 4x=18, divide both sides by 4 and we get x = 4.5 (or 18/4)
The answers are
y = 2 (if you are looking for Y)
x = 4.5 or 18/4 (if you are looking for X)
