6x - 3y = 30
4x + y = 2
Multiply the second equation by 3
6x - 3y = 30
12x + 3y = 6
Add both equations
18x = 36
x = 2
Plug x back into either equation
4(2) + y = 2
y = -6
2 - 6 = -4
Solve the following system:
{6 x - 3 y = 30 | (equation 1)
4 x = 2 - y | (equation 2)
Express the system in standard form:
{6 x - 3 y = 30 | (equation 1)
4 x + y = 2 | (equation 2)
Subtract 2/3 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{6 x - 3 y = 30 | (equation 1)
0 x+3 y = -18 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 3:
{2 x - y = 10 | (equation 1)
0 x+3 y = -18 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 2 by 3:
{2 x - y = 10 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = -6 | (equation 2)
Add equation 2 to equation 1:
{2 x+0 y = 4 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = -6 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 2:
{x+0 y = 2 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = -6 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: |x = 2 and y = -6 So: x + y =2 + (-6) =-4
6x - 3y = 30
4x + y = 2
Multiply the second equation by 3
6x - 3y = 30
12x + 3y = 6
Add both equations
18x = 36
x = 2
Plug x back into either equation
4(2) + y = 2
y = -6
2 - 6 = -4
if 6x-3y=30 and 4x=2-y then x+y= what
I. \(6x-3y=30\)
2. \(4x=2-y\) Side change with sign change
3. \(y=2-4x\) Insert in equation 1
\(6x-3(2-4x)=30\) calculate
\(6x-6+12x=30\) Side change with sign change and calculate
\(18x=36\) Divided by 18 on both sides
\(x=2\) Insert in equation 3
\(y=2-4\times 2\) calculate
\(y=-6\)
