Answer :

Answer:

(x,y) = (0,  1/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

  [1]    2x + 3y = 1

  [2]    4x - 6y = -2

Graphic Representation of the Equations :

   3y + 2x = 1        -6y + 4x = -2  

Solve by Substitution :

Solve equation [2] for the variable  x  

 [2]    4x = 6y - 2

 [2]    x = 3y/2 - 1/2

Plug this in for variable  x  in equation [1]

  [1]    2•(3y/2-1/2) + 3y = 1

  [1]    6y = 2

Solve equation [1] for the variable  y

  [1]    6y = 2  

  [1]    y = 1/3  

By now we know this much :

   x = 3y/2-1/2

   y = 1/3

Use the  y  value to solve for  x  

   x = (3/2)(1/3)-1/2 = 0
