Answer:

Explanation:

Rewrite equations: x+y=6;2x−3y=4

Solve x+y=6 for x: x+y+−y=6+−y (Add -y to both sides)

x=−y+6

Substitute −y+6 for x in2x−3y=4: 2x−3y=4

2(−y+6)−3y=4

−5y+12=4 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

−5y+12+−12=4+−12 (Add -12 to both sides)

−5y=−8

−5y/−5=−8/−5 (Divide both sides by -5)

y=8/5

Substitute 8/5 for y in x=−y+6:

x=−y+6

x=−8/5 +6

x=22/5 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer: x=22/5 and y=8/5
