Answer:
(1, 5 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
9x + 3y = 24 → (1)
10x - 2y = 0 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 2 and (2) by 3 and adding the result will eliminate the y- term
18x + 6y = 48 → (3)
30x - 6y = 0 → (4)
Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate y
48x + 0 = 48
48x = 48 ( divide both sides by 48 )
x = 1
Substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y
Substituting into (1)
9(1) + 3y = 24
9 + 3y = 24 ( subtract 9 from both sides )
3y = 15 ( divide both sides by 3 )
y = 5
solution is (1, 5 )
