Answer:
where there is x in the equation we put 0
For y
=2(0)+3y=8
=0+3y=8 Group likely terms
=3y=8-0
=3y=8 Divide both sides by 3
=3y/3=8/3
Therefore y=2.6
For x
=2x+3y=8
=2x+3(0)=8
=2x+0=8 Group likely terms
=2x=8-0
=2x=8 Divide both sides by 2
=2x/2=8/2
Therefore x=4
The smallest numbers for x and y is 4 and 2.6 respectively
