I use elimination method to find x and y of the equation;
Solution:
4x + 3y = 18
2x + y = 8
4x + 3y = 18
-2(2x + y = 8)
4x + 3y = 18
-4x - 2y = -16
y = 2
To find x, subtitute one of the given equation where y = 2
2x + y = 8
2x + 2 = 8
2x = 8 - 2
2x = 6 | Divide 2 both sides...
x = 3
Therefore, the value of x & y is 3 & 2 respectively.
Hope it Helps =)
