Question

Solve these pair of simultaneous equations.In each case the first step is to subtract the two equations.Give both solutions;x and y.
x-6y=32
x-4y =24



2x-3y =2
2x + 4y = 44
Please work it out ​

Answer 1

X-6y=32 Eqn(1)
X-4y=24. Eqn(2)

From eqn(1)
X=32+6y. Eqn(3)
Put Eqn 3 to Eqn 2
(32+6y)-4y=24
32+6y-4y=24
32+2y=24
2y=24-32
Y=-8/2
Y =-4

Put y into Eqn 3
X=32+6y
X=32+6(-4)
X=32-24
X=8
