You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3 x + 4 y = 8 .............1
Total value
1 x -3 y = -6 .............2
Eliminate y
multiply (1)by 3
Multiply (2) by 4
9 x 12 y = 24
4 x -12 y = -24
Add the two equations
13 x = 0
/ 13
x = 0
plug value of x in (1)
3 x + 4 y = 8
0 + 4 y = 8
4 y = 8 + 0
4 y = 8
y = 2
x=0,y=2
