Answer:
(5,-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
4x – 6y = 32
2x + 3y = 4 (multiply everything by 2. This will allow for the elimination of one of the variables. In this case, the y. )
4x – 6y = 32
4x + 6y = 8 (Now add them together)
__________
8x = 40 (Divide by 8, both sides)
x = 5
4(5) – 6y = 32 ( Substitute the x value into one of the original equations)
20 – 6y = 32 (Subtract the 20 from both sides)
-6y = 12 Divide by the -6, both sides)
y = -2
