Solve the system of equations by multiplying first. Enter the solution as an ordered pair.

x + 3y = -13

4x + 4y = -12

The solution is

Sagot :

Given:

The system of equations is:

[tex]x+3y=-13[/tex]

[tex]4x+4y=-12[/tex]

To find:

The solution for the given system of equations.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]x+3y=-13[/tex]            ..(i)

[tex]4x+4y=-12[/tex]          ...(ii)

Multiply equation (i) by 4, to make common coefficient of x.

[tex]4x+12y=-52[/tex]            ..(iii)

Subtract (ii) from (iii).

[tex]4x+12y-4x-4y=-52-(-12)[/tex]

[tex]8y=-40[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{-40}{8}[/tex]  

[tex]y=-5[/tex]  

Putting [tex]y=-5[/tex] in (i), we get

[tex]x+3(-5)=-13[/tex]

[tex]x-15=-13[/tex]

[tex]x=-13+15[/tex]

[tex]x=2[/tex]

Therefore, the solution of the given system of equations is [tex]x=2,y=-5[/tex].
