3x + 4y = 10
2x + 9y = 20
First, multiply everything in the top equation by 2 and
everything in the second equation by 3
By multiplying, your
equation should look like
6x + 8y = 20
6x + 27y = 60
now subtract 6x with 6x (which means subtract 8y with 27y and 20 with 60)
By subtracting, your equation should look
like
-19y = -40 divide both
sides by -19
By dividing, your equation should look
like
y = 49/19 which is your
answer for " y "
now plug 40/19 into one of the
equation
By doing that, your equation should look
like
3x + 4 ( 40/19 ) = 10
multiply 40/19 with 4
By multiplying, your equation should
look like
3x + 160/19 = 10
subtract both sides by 160/19
By
subtracting, your equation should look
like
3x = 30/19 now divide
both sides by 3
By dividing, your equation should look
like
x = 10/19 which is your
answer for " x "
So your answer is x = 10/19
; y = 40/19
