Question:medium

The point of intersection of the lines $3x + 2y = 6$ and $3x - 2y = -2$ is:

Show Hint

When coefficients of one variable are equal and opposite, addition eliminates the variable instantly.
  • $(2/3, 2)$
  • $(2/3, -2)$
  • $(-2/3, 2)$
  • $(-2/3, -2)$
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation


Step 1: Add equations
\[ (3x + 2y) + (3x - 2y) = 6 - 2 \] \[ 6x = 4 \Rightarrow x = \frac{2}{3} \]

Step 2: Substitute
\[ 3\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) + 2y = 6 \] \[ 2 + 2y = 6 \Rightarrow 2y = 4 \Rightarrow y = 2 \] \[ {\left(\frac{2}{3}, 2\right)} \]
