Answer:
(3,-6)
Step-by-step explanation:
[1] x - 2y = 15
[2] 2x + 4y = -18
Graphic Representation of the Equations :
-2y + x = 15 4y + 2x = -18
Solve by Substitution :
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] x = 2y + 15
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [2]
[2] 2•(2y+15) + 4y = -18
[2] 8y = -48
// Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] 8y = - 48
[2] y = - 6
// By now we know this much :
x = 2y+15
y = -6
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = 2(-6)+15 = 3
Solution :
{x,y} = {3,-6}
