Question

What is the solution to the system of linear equations?

{2x + 4y = 20
{3x + 2y = 26

Enter your answer in the boxes.​

Answer 1

x = 8, y = 1.

Explanation:

2x + 4y = 20

3x + 2y = 26 Multiply this equation by -2:

-6x - 4y = -52 Add this to the first equation:

-4x = -32

x = -32/-4

x = 8.

Plug x = 8 into the first equation:

2(8) + 4y = 20

4y = 20 - 16 = 4

y = 1.
