Answer:
(5, 4 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
4x + 6y = 44 → (1)
4x + 2y = 28 → (2)
Subtracting (2) from (1) term by term eliminates the term in x, that is
(4x - 4x) + (6y - 2y) = (44 - 28), that is
4y = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )
y = 4
Substitute y = 4 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x
Substituting y = 4 in (1)
4x + 6(4) = 44
4x + 24 = 44 ( subtract 24 from both sides )
4x = 20 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 5
Solution is (5, 4 )
