4x-3y=11
10x+2y=-1
This is a simultaneous equation and i need help!! I am getting lot's of different answers plz help!!!
4x - 3y = 11 ...(1)
10x + 2y = -1 ...(2)
Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second by 3 so that there are the same number of y's in each:
8x - 6y = 22 ...(3)
30x + 6y = -3 ...(4)
Now add (3) and (4) term by term:
38x + 0 = 19
or
38x = 19
or x = 1/2
Put this back into equation (1)
4*(1/2) - 3y = 11
or
2 - 3y = 11
Subtract 2 from both sides:
-3y = 9
Divide both sides by -3
y = -3
.
