Question

Solve the following Simultaneous equation
Using any suitable method
x+6y=2, 3x +2y =10​

Answer 1

x = 0.5

y = -1/4 or -0.25

Explanation:

x + 6y = 2

3x + 2y = 10

Multiply a number by any of the equations to get numbers of the same variable

3x + 18y = 6

3x + 2y = 10

3x - 3x = 0

NB: subtract evenly if u subtract down from top make sure u subtract down from top throughout

16y = -4

16y/16 = -4/16

y = -1/4 or -0.25

to find the x value, any where you see y u put in the y value(-0.25)

So u'll pick just one of the equations above

x + 6(0.25) = 2

x + 1.5 = 2

x = 1.5 + 2

x = 0.5
