Answer:
X = 8/3, y= -14/9
Step-by-step explanation:
using elimination method:
subtract equation 1 from equation 2
8x-4x + 6y-3y = 5-6
4x+3y= -1
4x= -1-3y
divide both sides by 4
x = -1-3y÷4
substitute x = -1-3y/4 in equation 2
8(-1-3y)/4 +6y = 5
-8-24y/4+ 6y =5
-8-24y+6y/4 =5
-8-18y/4 = 5
Cross multy
-8-18y × 1 = 4×5
-8-18y = 20
collect like terms
-18y = 20+8
-18y = 28
divide both sides by-18
y = 28/-8
y = -14/9
put y = -14/9 in equation 1
4x+3(-14/9) = 6
4x-42/9 = 6
42/9 = 14/3
so, 4x=6+14/3
LCM =3
4x = 18+14/3
4x= 32/3
cross multiply
4x×3 = 32
12x = 32
divide both sides by 12
12x/12= 32/12
x = 8/3
so, x = 8/3, y = -14/9
check:
first equation:
4(8/3) + 3(-14/9)
32/3 - 14/3( 3 cancels 9 rem 3)
LCM= 3
32 - 14/3
= 18/3
= 6
