Using Elimination Method, How do I solve
4x + 6y = 6 (1)
3x - 3y =12 (2)
4x + 6y = 6 (1)
3x - 3y =12 (2) multiply this equation by 2 → 6x - 6y = 24 (3)
Add equation 3 to equation 1
10x = 30 divide both sides by 10
x = 3 substitute this into any equation to find y [ I'll use 2 ]
3(3) - 3y = 12
9 - 3y = 12 add 3y to both sides, subtract 12 from both sides
-3 = 3y divide both sides by 3
-1 = y
So {x , y } = { 3, -1 }
