If 4x + 2y = 14 and x - 2y = 6, what is the value of y?

Sagot :

Answer:

y is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]4x + 2y = 14 - - - (a) \\ x - 2y = 6 - - - (b)[/tex]

(a) + (b):

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

therefore:

[tex]x - 2y = 6 \\ 4 - 2y = 6 \\ 2y = - 2 \\ y = - 1[/tex]

Answer:

y must be -1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the system of linear equations

4x + 2y = 14

 x - 2y = 6

and need to find the value of y.  Combining the two equations yields

5x = 20, and so we know that x must be 4.

If x is 4, then the second equation becomes 4 - 2y = 6, or -2y = 2.

Then y must be -1.
