Answer:
(3, 5 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x - 4y = - 14 → (1)
- 8x + 4y = - 4 → (2)
Adding (1) and (2) term by term will eliminate the y- term
- 6x + 0 = - 18
- 6x = - 18 ( divide both sides by - 6 )
x = 3
Substitute x = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (2)
- 8(3) + 4y = - 4
- 24 + 4y = - 4 ( add 24 to both sides )
4y = 20 ( divide both sides by 4 )
y = 5
solution is (3, 5 )
