Question

What are the values of x and y in this linear system?
2x + 3y = 8
x + 2y = 12

Answer 1

just want answer or explanation ?

Answer 2

to solve it first eliminate one variable from any equation and find the value of other variable

Answer 3

so what variable do you want eliminate first ?

Answer 4

2x+3y=8
2x+4y=24


2x+3y-(2x+4y)=-16

-y=-16
y=16

u can find x now @xenesis98

Answer 5

ok i'm eleminating y so
2x + 3y = 8
x + 2y = 12
this the equation now multiply equation (2) with 2 you will get
2x + 3y = 8
2x + 4y = 24
now subtract eq (1) from eq(2) you will get
y=16
now put this value of y=16 in any equation to find the value of x
