2 x – 3 y = 10 Multiply both sides by 2
4 x - 6 y = 20
5 x + 2 y = 6 Multiply both sides by 3
15 x + 6 y = 18
4 x - 6 y = 20
+
15 x + 6 y = 18
----------------
4 x + 15 x - 6 y + 6 y = 20 + 18
19 x = 38 Divide both sides by 19
x = 38 / 19
x = 2
To get the value of y you need to use the substitution method.
Substitute x = 2
into equation
2 x - 3 y = 10
2 * 2 - 3 y = 10
4 - 3 y = 10
- 3 y = 10 - 4
- 3 y = 6 Divide both sides by - 3
y = 6 / - 3
y = - 2
The point of intersection of the graphs of the equations of the system
Ax – 4y = 9
4x + By = –1
is (–1, –3). Explain how to find the values of A and B, then find these values.
