Solve the simultaneous equations:

y−2x=12
y+2x=4
x=
and y=

Sagot :

Answer:

y = 8

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

(If you are cancelling the y form the equation to find x first then subtract the equation as the signs are the same or else if you are cancelling the x first then add the equations as the signs are different)

y-12x=12 l cancelled the x from the equation to

y+2x=4 find y

+ + +

_____

2y = 16

y= 16/2

y=8

8 in eqn no 1

y-2x=12 replace the y with 8 and find x

8-2x=12

8-12=2x

-4=2x

-4/2=x

-2=x
