Answer:
(0, 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
16x - 2y = - 6 → (1)
8x - 8y = - 24 → (2)
Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term
- 16x + 16y = 48 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x, that is
0 + 14y = 42
14y = 42 ( divide both sides by 14 )
y = 3
Substitute y = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
16x - 2(3) = - 6
16x - 6 = - 6 ( add 6 to both sides )
16x = 0 , thus
x = 0
solution is (0, 3 )
