Question

solve using any method
3x=y-4
2y-6x=12

Answer 1

please help

Answer 2

First multiply both sides of the top equation by 2

Post your new equation here

Answer 3

which equation do i multiply by 2

Answer 4

What I said above

Answer 5

6x=2y-8

Answer 6

Ok that's good

Now add that equation to the SECOND equation in oyur question

Answer 7

12x+4y-4

Answer 8

12x=4x-4

Answer 9

12x=4y-4 sorry

Answer 10

No - that is not correct.

6x=2y-8
2y-6x=12

When you ADD them the x term will disappear

Answer 11

Ok so that would be 4y=4

Answer 12

Y=1

Answer 13

No that is not correct- however I now see a complication to this

Answer 14

If you re-arrange the original equations:

y=3x+4
y=3x+6

You can see that both lines have the same slope (=3)

Therefore they never intersect so there is no solution to these as simultaneous equations

Answer 15

And what is that

Answer 16

I dont get it there shouldn't there be a y value
