Question 74371
If you multiply 2 by the first equation and add the 2 equations together, you can eliminate x.


{{{-8x+6y=-2}}}
+{{{8x+6y=10}}}
----------------
{{{0x+12y=8}}}
Now we can solve for y
{{{12y=8}}}
{{{y=8/12=2/3}}}
Use this to find x.
{{{8x+6(2/3)=10}}}
{{{8x+4=10}}}
{{{8x=10-4}}}
{{{8x=6}}}
{{{x=6/8=3/4}}}
So our solution is (3/4,2/3)
