3x+4y=-12 x-y=10 using elimination no links or download

Answer 1

x = 4, y = -6

Explanation:

Elimination Method

3x + 4y = -12 ---- (1)

x-y = 10 ---- (2)

(2) x 4:

4(x) 4(-y) = 4(10)

4x - 4y = 40 ---- (3)

(1) + (3):

3x + 4y + (4x - 4y) = -12 + 40

3x + 4y + 4x - 4y = 28

7x = 28

x = 28/7

x = 4

Sub x = 4 into (2):

(4) - y = 10

-y = 10 - 4

-y = 6

y = -6
