Q. Solve the system of equations.13x−6y=22x=y+6x=□y=□
Identify Equations: Identify the given system of equations.We have the following system of equations:1) 13x−6y=222) x=y+6We need to find the values of x and y that satisfy both equations.
Substitute and Solve: Substitute the second equation into the first equation.Since x=y+6, we can replace x in the first equation with y+6 to solve for y.13(y+6)−6y=22
Combine Terms: Distribute and combine like terms.13y+78−6y=22(13y−6y)+78=227y+78=22
Isolate Variable: Isolate the variable y.Subtract 78 from both sides of the equation to solve for y.7y=22−787y=−56
Find Value of y: Divide both sides by 7 to find the value of y.y=7−56y=−8
Substitute for x: Substitute the value of y back into the second equation to solve for x.x=y+6x=−8+6x=−2
Check Solution: Check the solution by substituting x and y into both original equations.First equation: 13x−6y=2213(−2)−6(−8)=22−26+48=2222=22 (True)Second equation: x=y+6−2=−8+6−2=−2 (True)Both equations are satisfied, so the solution is correct.
