4x - y= 22 /x 4 3x+4y=26 16x - 4y = 88 }+ 3x + 4y = 26
16x + 3x - 4y + 4y = 88 + 26 19x = 114 / :19 x = 6
3x + 4y = 26 4y = 26 - 3*6 4y = 8 /: 4 y = 2
The solution to the simultaneous equations is x = 6 and y = 2 . We achieved this by rearranging one equation, substituting, and solving step-by-step. The final answer is confirmed as ( x , y ) = ( 6 , 2 ) .
