Solve the simultaneous equations
2x + 4y = 22
2x + 2y = 15

Sagot :

Answer:

1. x= 11+-27

2.x = 7.5 + -1y

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4y' to each side of the equation.

2x + 4y + -4y = 22 + -4y

Combine like terms: 4y + -4y = 0

2x + 0 = 22 + -4y

2x = 22 + -4y

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 11 + -2y

Simplifying

x = 11 + -2y

2.Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.

2x + 2y + -2y = 15 + -2y

Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0

2x + 0 = 15 + -2y

2x = 15 + -2y

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 7.5 + -1y

Simplifying

x = 7.5 + -1y
