Math Problem Statement

2x+−4y=6

3x+y=23x+y=2

Solution

It looks like you've provided two systems of linear equations, but the formatting needs clarification. I'll interpret the equations as follows:

System of Equations:

  1. 2x4y=62x - 4y = 6
  2. 3x+y=23x + y = 2

Let's solve this system of equations step by step.

Step 1: Solve the second equation for yy

From the second equation: 3x+y=23x + y = 2 Solve for yy: y=23xy = 2 - 3x

Step 2: Substitute yy into the first equation

Now, substitute y=23xy = 2 - 3x into the first equation: 2x4(23x)=62x - 4(2 - 3x) = 6

Step 3: Simplify and solve for xx

Distribute the 4-4 on the left side: 2x8+12x=62x - 8 + 12x = 6 Combine like terms: 14x8=614x - 8 = 6 Add 8 to both sides: 14x=1414x = 14 Divide by 14: x=1x = 1

Step 4: Solve for yy

Substitute x=1x = 1 back into the equation y=23xy = 2 - 3x: y=23(1)=23=1y = 2 - 3(1) = 2 - 3 = -1

Final Answer:

The solution to the system of equations is: x=1,y=1x = 1, \quad y = -1
