Answer this with elimination method x+2y=13 and x
=2+6y


Sagot :

The two given equations are
(1) x + 2y = 13
(2) x = 2 + 6y
We will arrange the terms in the same order
(1) x + 2y = 13
(2) x - 6y = 2
Multiply (2) with -1
(1) x + 2y = 13
(2) (x - 6y = 2) (-1)

(1) x + 2y = 13
(2) -x + 6y = -2
We will do elimination method now, by adding the 2 equations
(1) x + 2y = 13
(2) -x + 6y = -2
_____________
(3)      8y = 11
          8y/8 = 11/8
               y = 11/8

Let's substitute y= 11/8 to (1)
(1) x + 2y = 13
     x + 2(11/8) = 13
     x + 11/4 = 13
     x = 13 - 11/4
     x = (52-11)/4
     x = 41/4

Therefore, the answers are   x = 41/4 and y= 11/8
