Answer: x = -2 and y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given a system of equations
2x + 4y =12 ...........(1)
and
x + y = 2 .............(2)
Now to plot them in graph we need to find the points of the above linear equations .
From equation 1 ,we get
[tex]4y=12-2x\\\Rightarrow\ y=\frac{12-2x}{4}\\ \Rightarrow\ y=3-\frac{x}{2}\\\text{Put x=0, then} \\y=3-\frac{0}{2}=3\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Put x=6}\\y=3-\frac{6}{2} =3-3=0[/tex]
So get the points (0,3) and (6,0).
From equation 2 ,we get
[tex]y=2-x\\\text{Put x=0}\\y=2-0=2\\\text{Put x=2}\\y=2-2=0[/tex]
So we get the points (0,2) and (2,0).
So after plotting these points we get two lines intersecting at (-2,4).
Therefore our solution is x=-2 and y= 4.
