Question

solve by the elimination process
2x + 3y = 4
4x + 6y = 8
what is the solution of the system

Answer 1

solve by the elimination process
2x + 3y = 4
4x + 6y = 8
what is the solution of the system

Answer 2

x=-1
y=2

Answer 3

hi jhonyy9 can u show me how u arrived at this answer please or someone

Answer 4

the reason i'm asking is because this is what i came up with:
2x + 3y = 4 -- if you want to eiminate x here, multiply by 2
4x + 6y = 8
(2x + 3y = 4)2
4x + 6y = 8
4x + 6y = 8
4x + 6y = 8
0 + 0 + 0
from this there is no solution unless I did something wrong

Answer 5

2x+3y=4 --- 2(-1)+3(2)=4 --- (-2)+6=4 --- 4=4
4x+6y=8 --- 4(-1)+6(2)=8 --- (-4)+12=8 --- 8=8
