Math Problem Statement

solve this system of equations:

{-20x+6y=-6 -10x-4=4

Solution

We are solving the following system of linear equations:

  1. 20x+6y=6-20x + 6y = -6
  2. 10x4=4-10x - 4 = 4

Step 1: Simplify the second equation

Rewriting 10x4=4-10x - 4 = 4: 10x=8x=45.-10x = 8 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -\frac{4}{5}.


Step 2: Substitute x=45x = -\frac{4}{5} into the first equation

Substituting into 20x+6y=6-20x + 6y = -6: 20(45)+6y=6.-20\left(-\frac{4}{5}\right) + 6y = -6. Simplify: 16+6y=6.16 + 6y = -6. 6y=22y=113.6y = -22 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -\frac{11}{3}.


Final Solution:

x=45,y=113.x = -\frac{4}{5}, \quad y = -\frac{11}{3}.
