Answer:
x = 1, y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have the two equations:
[tex]4x+3y=1[/tex] and [tex]-3x - 6y = 3[/tex], we can look at which variable will be easiest to eliminate.
[tex]y[/tex] looks like it might be easy to get rid of, we just have to multiply [tex]4x+3y=1[/tex] by 2 and y is gone (as -6y + 6y = 0).
So let's multiply the equation [tex]4x+3y=1[/tex] by 2.
[tex]2(4x + 3y = 1)\\8x + 6y = 2[/tex]
Now we can add these equations
[tex]8x + 6y = 2\\-3x-6y=3\\[/tex]
------------------------
[tex]5x = 5[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 5, we get [tex]x = 1[/tex].
Now we can substitute x into an equation to find y.
[tex]4(1) + 3y = 1\\4 + 3y = 1\\3y = -3\\y = -1[/tex]
Hope this helped!
