Answer:
(3, 5 )
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 2y = 16 → (1)
3x - y = 4 → (2)
multiplying (2) by 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate y
6x - 2y = 8 → (3)
add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y
8x + 0 = 24
8x = 24 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 3
substitute x = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
substituting into (1)
2(3) + 2y = 16
6 + 2y = 16 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
2y = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )
y = 5
solution is (3, 5 )
