2 answers
The answer to this question is x=-6 and y=-3.
For the umpteenth time, the solution is wrong.
First equation.
- 4 x + 3 y = - 12
Multiply both sides by - 1
4 x - 3 y = 12
Add this equation to the second equation.
4 x - 3 y = 12
+
- 2 x + 3 y = - 18
_____________
2 x = - 6
x = - 6 / 2
x = - 3
Put this value in first equation.
- 4 x + 3 y = - 12
- 4 ∙ ( - 3 ) + 3 y = - 12
12 + 3 y = - 12
Subtract 12 to both sides.
3 y = - 24
y = - 24 / 3
y = - 8
The solution is:
x = - 3 , y = - 8
First equation.
- 4 x + 3 y = - 12
Multiply both sides by - 1
4 x - 3 y = 12
Add this equation to the second equation.
4 x - 3 y = 12
+
- 2 x + 3 y = - 18
_____________
2 x = - 6
x = - 6 / 2
x = - 3
Put this value in first equation.
- 4 x + 3 y = - 12
- 4 ∙ ( - 3 ) + 3 y = - 12
12 + 3 y = - 12
Subtract 12 to both sides.
3 y = - 24
y = - 24 / 3
y = - 8
The solution is:
x = - 3 , y = - 8
