Question

Solve the system of linear equations below.

6x + 3y = 33
4x + y = 15

A.
x = 2, y = 7
B.
x = -13, y = 7
C.
x = - 2/3, y = 12 2/3
D.
x = 5, y = 1

Answer 1

A. x=2 y=7

Explanation:

-12x -3 = 3y

6x + 3y = 33

sooo you add them up...

so its

-6x = -12

x=2

and then you plug in the x value into one of the equations

6x + 3y = 33

6(2) + 3y = 33

12 + 3y = 33

3y = 33 - 12

3y = 21

21/3=7

y=7
