Answer:
(6, 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x - 6y = - 12 → (1)
x + 2y = 14 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate x
- 2x - 4y = - 28 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x
- 10y = - 40 ( divide both sides by - 10 )
y = 4
Substitute y = 4 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
2x - 6(4) = - 12
2x - 24 = - 12 ( add 24 to both sides )
2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 6
solution is (6, 4 )
