The result of subtracting equation 2 from equation 1 is: 5x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]-4x-2y=-2\ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\x-2y=9\ \ \ Eqn\ 2[/tex]
When an equation is subtracted from another equation, the right hand side of equation is subtracted from the right hand side of other equation. Similarly, the left hand side is subtracted from left hand side.
So,
Subtracting equation 2 from eqn 1
[tex]-4x-2y-(x-2y) = -2-9\\-4x-2y-x+2y = -11\\-5x = -11 => 5x = 11[/tex]
The result of subtracting equation 2 from equation 1 is: 5x = 11
