The correct Answer is:
To solve the given pair of linear equations using the method of elimination by equating coefficients, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the equations in standard form The given equations are: 1. \(\frac{x - y}{6} = 2(4 - x)\) 2. \(2x + 4 = 3(x - 4)\) Let's start with the first equation: \[ \frac{x - y}{6} = 2(4 - x) \] Multiply both sides by 6 to eliminate the fraction: \[ x - y = 12(4 - x) \] Now, distribute on the right side: \[ x - y = 48 - 12x \] Rearranging gives: \[ x + 12x - y = 48 \] This simplifies to: \[ 13x - y = 48 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] Now, for the second equation: \[ 2x + 4 = 3(x - 4) \] Distributing on the right side gives: \[ 2x + 4 = 3x - 12 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 2x - 3x + 4 + 12 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ -x + 16 = 0 \] Or: \[ x = 16 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 2: Substitute the value of \(x\) into Equation 1 Now we have two equations: 1. \(13x - y = 48\) 2. \(x = 16\) Substituting \(x = 16\) into Equation 1: \[ 13(16) - y = 48 \] Calculating \(13 \times 16\): \[ 208 - y = 48 \] ### Step 3: Solve for \(y\) Rearranging gives: \[ y = 208 - 48 \] Calculating the right side: \[ y = 160 \] ### Final Solution Thus, the solution to the system of equations is: \[ x = 16, \quad y = 160 \]
