The solution for the given system is
and

Answer 1

The expressions that give the value of y are A - 3B and (1/3)A - B

The solution is (27/13, -60/13)

Explanation:

We can see both equation A and equation B.

Equation A: 2x + (1/4)y = 3

Equation B: (2/3)x - y = 6

To find the value of y, we have to solve both equations A and equation B simultaneously. This is done by multiplying equation B by 3 and subtracting from equation A (A - 3B) to get:

(13/4)y = -15

y = -60/13

you can also get y by dividing equation A by 3 and subtracting equation B (1/3A - B)

Put y = -60/13 in equation A to get x:

2x + (1/4)(-60/13) = 3

2x = 3 + 15/13

2x = 54/13

x = 27/13

The solution is (27/13, -60/13)
