Question

Subtract -8x-y=6 from x-3y=6

Answer 1

The resultant after subtracting the equations is 9 x - 2 y = 0

Explanation:

Given two linear equations as :

- 8 x - y = 6 ......A

x - 3 y = 6

Or, x = 3 y + 6 ........B

Now, subtracting eq A from eq B

(x -3 y) - (- 8 x - y) = 6 - 6

Or, x - 3 y + 8 x + y = 0

Or, 9 x - 2 y = 0

So, The resultant after subtracting the equations 9 x - 2 y = 0

Hence,The resultant after subtracting the equations is 9 x - 2 y = 0 Answer
