Question

Please help. Systems of equations. Solve using elimination.

12X + 16y = 96
12X + 48y = 192

Answer 1

x=4

y=3

Explanation:

12X + 16y = 96--(1)

12X + 48y = 192---(2)

(2)-(1),

12x + 48y - (12x+ 16y)= 192- 96

12x + 48y - 12x - 16y = 96

32y = 96

y= 96÷32

y =3

substituting y=3 in (1),

12x +(16×3) = 96

12x + 48 = 96

12x = 96-48

12x = 48

x= 48÷12

x= 4

Hope this helps!
