Answer:
(8, 2 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
x + 4y = 16 → (1)
- x + 3y = - 2 → (2)
Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the x- term
0 + 7y = 14
7y = 14 ( divide both sides by 7 )
y = 2
Substitute y = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting into (1)
x + 4(2) = 16
x + 8 = 16 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
x = 8
solution is (8, 2 )
