Answer:
The solution set is (2,4).
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
−2x + 2y =4 Eqn 1
−4x + 8y =24 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by -2
-2(-2x+2y=4)
4x-4y= -8 Eqn 3
Adding Eqn 2 and 3
(-4x+8y)+(4x-4y)=24-8
-4x+8y+4x-4y=16
4y=16
Dividing both sides by 4
[tex]\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{16}{4}\\y=4[/tex]
Putting y=4 in Eqn 1
-2x+2(4)=4
-2x+8=4
-2x=4-8
-2x=-4
Dividing both sides by -2
[tex]\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{-4}{-2}\\x=2[/tex]
Hence,
The solution set is (2,4).
