Solution

The question in the image states:

"Diketahui persamaan 6x - y = 13 dan x + 3y = 7. Berapakah nilai x dan y?"

This is a system of linear equations:

  1. 6xy=136x - y = 13
  2. x+3y=7x + 3y = 7

Steps to Solve:

Step 1: Express yy from the second equation

From x+3y=7x + 3y = 7: 3y=7x3y = 7 - x y=7x3y = \frac{7 - x}{3}

Step 2: Substitute yy into the first equation

Substitute y=7x3y = \frac{7 - x}{3} into 6xy=136x - y = 13: 6x7x3=136x - \frac{7 - x}{3} = 13 Eliminate the fraction by multiplying through by 3: 18x(7x)=3918x - (7 - x) = 39 Simplify: 18x7+x=3918x - 7 + x = 39 19x7=3919x - 7 = 39 19x=4619x = 46 x=4619or approximately 2.42x = \frac{46}{19} \quad \text{or approximately } 2.42

Step 3: Find yy using xx

Substitute x=4619x = \frac{46}{19} into y=7x3y = \frac{7 - x}{3}: y=746193y = \frac{7 - \frac{46}{19}}{3} First, find 746197 - \frac{46}{19}: 7=13319,so 74619=1334619=87197 = \frac{133}{19}, \quad \text{so } 7 - \frac{46}{19} = \frac{133 - 46}{19} = \frac{87}{19} Thus: y=87193=8757=2919y = \frac{\frac{87}{19}}{3} = \frac{87}{57} = \frac{29}{19}

Final Answer:

x=4619,y=2919x = \frac{46}{19}, \quad y = \frac{29}{19}

Or approximately: x2.42,y1.53x \approx 2.42, \quad y \approx 1.53
