Question

Solve the system of equations below.
x − y = 6
3x − 2y = 22
please help asap

Answer 1

x = 10 and y = 4

Explanation:

x - y = 6

3x - 2y = 22

1. Isolate x for x - y = 6: x = 6 + y

Substitute x = 6 + y

3 * ( 6 + y) - 2y = 22

2. Isolate y for 3 * (6 + y) - 2y = 22: y = 4

Substitute y = 4

x = 6 + 4

3. Simplify.

x = 10
