Solve the following system:
{y-4 x = 0 |     (equation 1)
3 x+6 y = 9 |     (equation 2)
Add 3/4 × (equation 1) to equation 2:
{-(4 x)+y = 0 |     (equation 1)
0 x+(27 y)/4 = 9 |     (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 4/9:
{-(4 x)+y = 0 |     (equation 1)
0 x+3 y = 4 |     (equation 2)
Divide equation 2 by 3:
{-(4 x)+y = 0 |     (equation 1)
0 x+y = 4/3 |     (equation 2)
Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:
{-(4 x)+0 y = (-4)/3 |     (equation 1)
0 x+y = 4/3 |     (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by -4:
{x+0 y = 1/3 |     (equation 1)
0 x+y = 4/3 |     (equation 2)

Answer: | {x = 1/3                 y = 4/3

Solve the following system:
{y-4 x = 0
3 x+6 y = 9

 

In the first equation, look to solve for y:
{y-4 x = 0
3 x+6 y = 9

 

Add 4 x to both sides:
{y = 4 x
3 x+6 y = 9

 

Substitute y = 4 x into the second equation:
{y = 4 x
27 x = 9

 

In the second equation, look to solve for x:
{y = 4 x
27 x = 9

 

Divide both sides by 27:
{y = 4 x
x = 1/3

 

Substitute x = 1/3 into the first equation:
{y = 4/3
x = 1/3

Answer: |  {x = 1/3          y = 4/3
