Question

Solve the simultaneous equation
-4x+3y=1
6x-y=2

Answer 1

x = 1/2 or 0.5, y = 1

Explanation:

it just means a system of equations.

-4x + 3y = 1

6x - y = 2

let's multiply the second equation by 3 and add both resulting equations :

-4x + 3y = 1

18x - 3y = 6

-------------------

14x 0 = 7

14x = 7

x = 7/14 = 1/2 = 0.5

6x - y = 2

6×1/2 - y = 2

3 - y = 2

-y = -1

y = 1
