Question

solve these linear equations
-6x - 4y = 12
-2x + 5y = 4

Answer 1

To solve such equations we make any variable common in both the equations and then subtract either of the equation.

here, multiply second equation with 3
3 x -2x + 5y = 4 x 3
-6x + 15 y =12

Answer 2

Now subtract this equation from first o

-6x - 4y = 12
-(-6x + 15 y =12)

Answer 3

now we get 0 - 19y = 0
or y = 0

Answer 4

i guess now you can find the value of x by putting y = 0 in any one of the eqaution
