Answer:

The solution to the system of equations be:

[tex]x=3,\:y=-1[/tex]

Hece, option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}x-3y=6\\ 2x+2y=4\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Multiply x − 3y = 6 by 2:      2x-6y=12

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}2x-6y=12\\ 2x+2y=4\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

so

[tex]2x+2y=4[/tex]

[tex]-[/tex]

[tex]\underline{2x-6y=12}[/tex]

[tex]8y=-8[/tex]

so the system of equations becomes

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}2x-6y=12\\ 8y=-8\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Solve 8y = -8 for y

[tex]8y=-8[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8

[tex]\frac{8y}{8}=\frac{-8}{8}[/tex]

[tex]y=-1[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{For\:}2x-6y=12\mathrm{\:plug\:in\:}y=-1[/tex]

[tex]2x-6\left(-1\right)=12[/tex]

[tex]2x+6=12[/tex]

subtract 6 from both sides

[tex]2x+6-6=12-6[/tex]

[tex]2x=6[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{6}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=3[/tex]

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations be:

[tex]x=3,\:y=-1[/tex]

Hence, option B is correct.

A N S W E R :

  • x - 3y = 6 ......[Equation (i) ]
  • 2x + 2y = 4 ......[Equation (ii)]

From Equation (i) we get :

  • x = 6 + 3y......[Equation (iii)]

Now, Substitute the equation (iii) in equation (ii) we get :

→ 2(6 + 3y) + 2y = 4

→ 12 + 6y + 2y = 4

→ 8y = 4 - 12

→ 8y = -8

→ y = -8 ÷ 8

y = -1

Now Substituting value of y = -1 in equation (iii) we get :

→ x = 6 + 3y

→ x = 6 + 3(-1)

→ x = 6 + (-3)

→ x = 6 - 3

x = 3

  • Hence,the value of x = 3 and value of y = -1.
