Answer:
x = 2, y = 0
Explanation:
Given the 2 equations
8x - 4y = 16 → (1)
8x + 4y = 16 → (2)
Add the 2 equations term by term to eliminate y
16x + 0 = 32
16x = 32 ( divide both sides by 16 )
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (2)
8(2) + 4y = 16
16 + 4y = 16 ( subtract 16 from both sides )
4y = 0 , then
y = 0
