Question

Solve step through stepx + 2y = 83x - 2y = 0

Answer 1

Add both the equations

`\begin{gathered} x+2y=8 \\ 3x-2y=0 \\ \text{Add left hand side terms together and right hand side terms together.} \\ x+2y+3x-2y=8+0 \\ 4x=8 \\ x=(8)/(4)=2 \end{gathered}`

Substitute 2 for x in x+2y =8 to find y

`\begin{gathered} 2+2y=8 \\ 2y=8-2 \\ 2y=6 \\ y=(6)/(2)=3 \end{gathered}`

The solutions to the equations are x=2 and y=3.
