\

The equations are

\

$\"\"$ Equation (1)

\

$\"\"$ Equation (2)

\

Since the coefficients of the y-terms are same, you can eliminate these terms by subtracting the equations. Subtract the equations to eliminate variable y.

\

Write the equations in column form and subtract the corresponding columns. $\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by 4)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

\

\

\

Now Substitute 0 for x in either equation to find the value of y.

\

$\"\"$ (Equation 1)

\

$\"\"$ (Replace x by 0)

\

$\"\"$ (Multiplication property of zero: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by 2)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

\

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ )

\

The solution is $\"\"$ . $\"\"$
