Answer:
x=3 and y = -3/2
A method for solving a system of linear equations where you add or subtract equations to eliminate a variable. Eliminating one variable by combining two equations with a common term with adding or subtracting.
___________________________________
Let's solve your system by elimination.
4x−2y=15;2x+2y=3
4x−2y=15
2x+2y=3
Add these equations to eliminate y:
6x=18
Then solve 6x=18 for x:
6x=18
6x/6 = 18/6 (Divide both sides by 6)
x=3
Now that we've found x let's plug it back in to solve for y.
Write down an original equation:
4x−2y=15
Substitute3 for x in 4x−2y=15:
(4)(3)−2y=15
−2y+12=15(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−2y+12+−12=15+−12(Add -12 to both sides)
−2y=3
-2y/-2 = 3/-2 (Divide both sides by -2)
y = -3/2
Answer:
x=3 and y = -3/2
