Math Problem Statement

x+y=14 y=6x

Solution

We are solving the system of equations:

  1. x+y=14x + y = 14
  2. y=6xy = 6x

Step 1: Substitute y=6xy = 6x into x+y=14x + y = 14

Substituting y=6xy = 6x into the first equation:

x+6x=14x + 6x = 14

Step 2: Simplify and solve for xx

7x=147x = 14 x=2x = 2

Step 3: Solve for yy

Using y=6xy = 6x and substituting x=2x = 2: y=6(2)=12y = 6(2) = 12

Final Solution:

x=2,y=12x = 2, \, y = 12
