Solve the following system of equations
2x – 3y = 6
4x+2y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems this system of equations would be solved easier using the elimination method (the x and y values are lined up).

Multiply everything in the first equation by -2 (we want the 4x to be able to cancel out with a -4x).

Now line up the equations (they are already lined up - convenient) and add them from top to bottom.

The -4x and 4x are opposites, so they cancel out.

Adding 6y and 2y gives you 8y, and adding -12 and 4 gives you -8.

Divide both sides by 8.

Since you have the y-value you can substitute this in to the second (or first equation, it doesn't necessarily matter) equation.

Simplify.

Add 2 to both sides.

Divide both sides by 4.

The final answer is .

x + 107

step-by-step explanation:

let's say that the number he had before the mistake was x. then, he will have 107 dollars more than this, so the answer is x + 107.
