Answer:

x = 2 , y = 6

Explanation:

Solve the following system:

{3 x + 2 y = y + 12 | (equation 1)

4 y - 7 x = 10 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{3 x + y = 12 | (equation 1)

-(7 x) + 4 y = 10 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{-(7 x) + 4 y = 10 | (equation 1)

3 x + y = 12 | (equation 2)

Add 3/7 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{-(7 x) + 4 y = 10 | (equation 1)

0 x+(19 y)/7 = 114/7 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 7/19:

{-(7 x) + 4 y = 10 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 6 | (equation 2)

Subtract 4 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{-(7 x)+0 y = -14 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 6 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by -7:

{x+0 y = 2 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 6 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer:{x = 2 , y = 6
