SOLUTION: 2x+y=2
4x+y=4
If you multiply one of these by -1, the Ys will cancel, enabling you to solve it for x:
-1(2x + y = 2) --> -2x - y = -2
4x + y = 4 --> 4x + y = 4

Question 85531: 2x+y=2
4x+y=4
If you multiply one of these by -1, the Ys will cancel, enabling you to solve it for x:
-1(2x + y = 2) --> -2x - y = -2
4x + y = 4 --> 4x + y = 4
-----------
2x = 2
x = 1
Now plug 1 in for x into either of the original equations to get y:
2(1) + y = 2 [using the first eqution]
2 + y = 2
y = 0
The solutoin is (1 , 0)
