Explanation:

(11)(11)

-6x+3y=33to(1)6x+3y=33(1)

-4x+y=16to(2)4x+y=16(2)

"from "(2)color(white)(x)y=16+4xto(3)from (2)xy=16+4x(3)

color(blue)"Substitute "y=16+4x" in equation "(1)Substitute y=16+4x in equation (1)

-6x+3(16+4x)=336x+3(16+4x)=33

rArr-6x+48+12x=336x+48+12x=33

rArr6x+48=336x+48=33

"subtract 48 from both sides"subtract 48 from both sides

6xcancel(+48)cancel(-48)=33-48

rArr6x=-15

"divide both sides by 6"

(cancel(6) x)/cancel(6)=(-15)/6

rArrx=-15/6=-5/2

"substitute this value in equation "(3)

rArry=16+(4xx-5/2)=16-10=6

rArr(x,y)to(-5/2,6)

color(blue)"As a check"

"substitute the solution into either of the 2 equations"

(2)to(-4xx-5/2)+6=10+6=16larr" True"

"this confirms that "(-5/2,6)" is the solution"

(12)

"the solution is "(x,y)to(-1/7,-6/7)

"this is done in exactly the same way as 11"
