Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the system of simultaneous equations \(x + 3y = 12\) and \(5x + 2y = 44\), you can use the substitution method or elimination method. Let's use the substitution method.
1. Solve the first equation for \(x\):
\[ x = 12 - 3y \]
2. Substitute this expression for \(x\) into the second equation:
\[ 5(12 - 3y) + 2y = 44 \]
3. Simplify and solve for \(y\).
4. Once you find \(y\), substitute its value back into the expression for \(x\) to find \(x\).
Let me know if you'd like assistance with any specific step or the final solution.
