Math Problem Statement

−6x+3y=−15 4x-3y=13

Solution

You have a system of two linear equations:

  1. 6x+3y=15-6x + 3y = -15
  2. 4x3y=134x - 3y = 13

To solve this system, you can use either substitution, elimination, or matrix methods. Let's solve it using the elimination method by adding the two equations to eliminate yy.

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Add the equations: (6x+3y)+(4x3y)=15+13(-6x + 3y) + (4x - 3y) = -15 + 13 Simplifying: 2x=2-2x = -2

  2. Solve for xx: x=22=1x = \frac{-2}{-2} = 1

  3. Substitute x=1x = 1 into one of the original equations. Let's use the second equation: 4x3y=134x - 3y = 13 Substituting x=1x = 1: 4(1)3y=134(1) - 3y = 13 Simplifying: 43y=134 - 3y = 13 Solving for yy: 3y=134-3y = 13 - 4 3y=9y=93=3-3y = 9 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = \frac{9}{-3} = -3

Final Solution:

  • x=1x = 1
  • y=3y = -3

Tip:

When using elimination, aim to cancel one variable by adding or subtracting the equations. This makes solving for the other variable straightforward.
