Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The system of the equation is
Calculation:
It is given that the variables are u and v.
The equations
The equations can be written in the linear form by give the suitable substitutions.
Let
Substitute
Compute the solutions of the system
Find the linear combination that eliminates the variable x .
Since the least common multiple of the x’s coefficients 4 and 6 is 12, multiply the first equation by
Add these two new equations to eliminate the variable x .
Simplify further to find the value of y .
Substitute
Thus, the value of x and y are
Substitute
Substitute
Therefore, the solution of the given system is
