Question

What is the solution of the system of equations below?
y + 2x = 2
y + 4x = 0
F. (1, -4) G. (-1,-4) H. (-1, 4) I. (1, 4)

Answer 1

G

Solution:

Here,

y+2x=2

y=2-2x

Now,

Putting the value of y

y+4x=0

2-2x+4x=0

2+2x=0

2(1+x)=0

1+x=0

x=-1

Then,

Putting the value of x

y=2x-2

=2×-1-2

=-2-2

=-4

Hence,the solution is (-1,-4)
