Math Problem Statement

give me a system of equation to solve with answers

Solution

Here's a system of equations for you to solve:

2x+3y=122x + 3y = 12

4xy=54x - y = 5

Solution:

  1. Solve for yy in terms of xx using the second equation:
    y=4x5y = 4x - 5

  2. Substitute this into the first equation:
    2x+3(4x5)=122x + 3(4x - 5) = 12

  3. Expand:
    2x+12x15=122x + 12x - 15 = 12

  4. Simplify:
    14x=2714x = 27

  5. Solve for xx:
    x=2714x = \frac{27}{14}

  6. Substitute x=2714x = \frac{27}{14} into y=4x5y = 4x - 5:
    y=4(2714)5y = 4\left(\frac{27}{14}\right) - 5

    y=108147014y = \frac{108}{14} - \frac{70}{14}

    y=3814=197y = \frac{38}{14} = \frac{19}{7}

Final Answer:

(2714,197)\left( \frac{27}{14}, \frac{19}{7} \right)
