Answer:

x = 5

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply the second equation by -1 and add the first equation to eliminate "x"

[tex]4x+6y=44\\-4x-2y=-28[/tex]
_____________

       [tex]4y=16[/tex]

[tex]y=16/4 =4[/tex]

Replace "y" in the first equation:

[tex]4x+6(4)=44[/tex]

[tex]4x+24=44[/tex]

[tex]4x=44-24[/tex]

[tex]x=20/4=5[/tex]

Hope this helps

Answer:

x = 5, y = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 6y = 44        (A)

4x + 2y = 28        (B)

Subtract equations: (A) - (B).

0 + 4y = 16

y = 16/4

y = 4.

Now plug y = 4 into equation A:

4x + 6(4) = 44

4x = 44 - 24

4x = 20

x = 5.

Now check if these roots are correct by plugging them into equation B:

4x + 2y = 28

4(5) + 2(4) = 28   - check OK.
