Question

Can someone help me?

Answer 1

`2x - 2y = 24 \\ 2(x - y) = 24 \\ x = 12 + y......eq(1) \\ 4x + 7y = - 40......eq(2) \\ substituting \: the \: value \: of \: x \: in \: eq(2) \\ 4(12 + y) + 7y = - 40 \\ 48 + 4y + 7y = - 40 \\ 11y = - 40 - 48 \\ y = ( - 88)/(11) \\ y = - 8 \\ putting \: the \: value \: of \: y \: im \: eq(1) \\ x = 12 - 8 \\ = 4`

Explanation:

3x-2y=24......eqi

x+2y=48........eqii

now solving eq i&ii

4x=72

x=72/4

x=18

now putting the value of x in eqii

18+2y=48

2y=48-18

y=30/2

y=15
