Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x +2y = 8 ----- (I)
x = 8 - 2y
x - 3y = 6 -------(II)
Substitute x = 8 - 2y in equation (II)
8 - 2y - 3y = 6 {add like terms}
8 - 5y = 6
Subtract 8 form both sides
-5y = 6- 8
-5y = -2
Divide both sides by -5
-5y/-5 = -2/-5
y = 2/5
Substitute y = 2/5 in equation (I)
[tex]x+2*\frac{2}{5}=8\\\\x+\frac{4}{5}=8\\\\x=8- \frac{4}{5}\\\\x=\frac{8*5}{1*5}-\frac{4}{5}\\\\x=\frac{40}{5}-\frac{4}{5}\\\\x=\frac{36}{5}[/tex]
x = 36/5
