Write Equations: Write down the system of equations.We have the following system of equations:6x−2y=10 ...(1)3x−y=2 ...(2)We need to find the values of x and y that satisfy both equations simultaneously.
Solve for y: Solve the second equation for y. From equation (2), we can express y in terms of x: 3x−y=2y=3x−2...(3) This gives us y in terms of x, which we can use to substitute into the first equation.
Substitute and Simplify: Substitute the expression for y from equation (3) into equation (1).Substituting y=3x−2 into equation (1) gives us:6x−2(3x−2)=10Now we need to simplify and solve for x.
Identify Contradiction: Simplify the equation and solve for x.6x−2(3x−2)=106x−6x+4=10The terms 6x and −6x cancel each other out, so we are left with:4=10This is a contradiction, which means there is an error in our calculations or the system of equations does not have a solution.
