6x + 2y = -12 4x + 3y = 7

Solution

Verified
Step 1
1 of 2

Let:

6x+2y=12(1)6x+2y=-12\tag{1}

4x+3y=7(2)4x+3y=7\tag{2}

Solve by elimination. Here, I eliminate yy first. Multiply (1) by 3 to obtain (3):

18x+6y=36(3)18x+6y=-36\tag{3}

Multiply (2) by 2 to obtain (4):

8x+6y=14(4)8x+6y=14\tag{4}

Subtract each side of (3) and (4) and solve for xx:

10x=5010x=-50

x=5x=-5

Solve for yy using (1):

6(5)+2y=126(-5)+2y=-12

30+2y=12-30+2y=-12

2y=182y=18

y=9y=9

So, the solution of the system is:

(5,9)\color{#c34632}(-5,9)
