Question

Hi! I’ve already gotten this far, and found the value of x, but how would I go about finding the value of y from here?

Answer 1

y=1 and x = 2

Explanation:

Given equations are :

2x-2y = 2 ....(1)

5x+2y= 12 .....(2)

Adding equation (1) and (2),

2x+5x = 2+12

7x = 14

x = 2

Put the value of x in equation (!).

2(2)-2y = 2

4-2y=2

2=2y

y=1

So, the values of x and y are 2 and 1 respectively.
