Question

X + 3y = 42
2x - y= 14

Answer 1

x=12,y=10

Explanation:

Step: Solve x+3y=42

x+3y=42

x+3y+−3y=42+−3y(Add -3y to both sides)

x=−3y+42

Step: Substitute−3y+42forxin2x−y=14:

2x−y=14

2(−3y+42)−y=14

−7y+84=14(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−7y+84+−84=14+−84(Add -84 to both sides)

−7y=−70

Divide both sides by -7

y=10

Step: Substitute10foryinx=−3y+42:

x=−3y+42

x=(−3)(10)+42

x=12(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Hope this Helps:)
