Question 1004022: Solve the system of equations and also show that you have checked your work to make sure everything is correct.
2x-3y=-2
4x+y=24 Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2x-3y=-2
4x+y=24
------------
2x-3y=-2 Multiply both sides by -2:
-4x+6y= 4 Now add this equation to the other one.
---------------------
-4x+6y= 4
+
4x+y= 24
= 7y= 28
= y= 28/7
= y= 4 Now that we know y we can get the value of x:
4x+4= 24
4x= 20
x= 5
