Let's solve the system of equations using the elimination method:
1. 3x - 2y = 6
2. 4x + 2y = 8
Add the two equations together to eliminate y:
(3x - 2y) + (4x + 2y) = 6 + 8
3x - 2y + 4x + 2y = 14
7x = 14
x = 2
Now substitute x = 2 into the first equation to solve for y:
3(2) - 2y = 6
6 - 2y = 6
-2y = 0
y = 0
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (2, 0).
1. 3x - 2y = 6
2. 4x + 2y = 8
Add the two equations together to eliminate y:
(3x - 2y) + (4x + 2y) = 6 + 8
3x - 2y + 4x + 2y = 14
7x = 14
x = 2
Now substitute x = 2 into the first equation to solve for y:
3(2) - 2y = 6
6 - 2y = 6
-2y = 0
y = 0
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (2, 0).
