Bot GPT 3.5 To solve this system of equations, we can use the method of substitution or elimination.
Let's solve by substitution.
First, let's rearrange the first equation to solve for x:
4x - 6y = -48
4x = 6y - 48
x = (6y - 48) / 4
x = (3/2)y - 12
Now substitute this expression for x into the second equation:
-2((3/2)y - 12) + 4y = 30
-3y + 24 + 4y = 30
y + 24 = 30
y = 6
Now that we have found the value for y, we can substitute it back into one of the original equations to solve for x:
4x - 6(6) = -48
4x - 36 = -48
4x = -12
x = -3
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = -3 and y = 6.
