4x + 2y = 22 3x + 4y = 24 Use the process of elimination. Where you can either decide which number variation you want to eliminate by multiplying it with a negative or positive, then distribute it on your chosen equation. - 2 X (4x + 2y = 22)- - > - 8x - 4y = - 44 - 8x - 4y= - 44 3x + 4y= 24 - 4y and +4y will cancel out by means of canceling y and you are left solving for x. - 5x = - 20 Divide - 5 on both sides. x= 4 3 X (4) + 4y=24 Plug your 4 to the x of 3 and multiply. Now you will be solving for y. 12 + 4y=24 4y = 24 - 12 y= 3 Final answer: (4,3)
