Question

Solve the function

3x+2y=72
2x+4y=96

Answer 1

How would you like to tackle this problem?

Answer 2

Um I don't know

Answer 3

3x + 2y = 72 then multiply both members by 2
-6x - 4y = -144 and
2x + 4y = 96 add both equations
-4x = -48
then x = 12
reemplazing int the first equation the x value
3*12 + 2*y = 72 then
y = (72 - 36)/2 = 18

Answer 4

I'd reduce that second equation a bit before starting.

Answer 5

yes you can take '2' common from both sides

Answer 6

So I would start with

3x + 2y = 72
x + 2y = 48

Answer 7

Afterwards I would use elimination method to eliminate the y variable.
