Answer:
A) x = 4, y = 3.
B. x = 0, y = -4.
Step-by-step explanation:
A) 2x+ 3y =11 .........(a)
x+ y = 4.......(b)
Multiply equation (b) by 2:
2x + 2y = 8
Subtract this from equation (a):
y = 11-8 = 3.
Substitute y = 3 into equation (a):
2x + 3*1 = 11
2x = 11 - 3 = 8
x = 4.
B) 4x+ 3y = -12
2x - y= 4
Multiply second equation by 2:
4x - 2y = 8
Subtract this from first equation:
3y - (-2y) = -12 - 8
5y = -20.
y = -4.
Substitute y = -4 into equation 1:
4x + 3*(-4) = -12
4x = -12 + 12 = 0
x = 0.
