10x - 3y + 2x - 4y =(10x + 2x) + (-3y - 4y) =12x - 7y
2x + 3y = 17 3x + 4y = 24 (2x + 3x) + (3y + 4y) = (17 + 24) 5x + 7y = 41
Since 2x-3y=4y=8 we can say that 4y=8 therefor y=2 We can also say that 2x-3y=4y and as y=2 2x-6=8 so 2x=14 and x =7 so y=2 and x=7
2x-3y = 4 x+4y = -9 => x = -9-4y Substitute x = -9-4y into the top equation: 2(-9-4y)-3y = 4 -18-8y-3y = 4 -8y-3y = 4+18 -11y = 22 Divide both sides by -11 to find the value of y: y = -2 Substitute the value of y into the original equations to find the value of x: Therefore: x = -1 and y = -2 Remember that the product of a minus times a minus is equal to a plus when working out the original equations,
It is the same as: 6x+4y
