1. Problem Description

We are given a system of two linear equations with two variables, tt and uu:
6t9u=106t - 9u = 10
2t+3u=42t + 3u = 4
We need to solve for tt and uu.

2. Solution Steps

We can solve this system of equations using substitution or elimination. Let's use elimination.
Multiply the second equation by 3:
3(2t+3u)=3(4)3(2t + 3u) = 3(4)
6t+9u=126t + 9u = 12
Now we have:
6t9u=106t - 9u = 10
6t+9u=126t + 9u = 12
Add the two equations together:
(6t9u)+(6t+9u)=10+12(6t - 9u) + (6t + 9u) = 10 + 12
12t=2212t = 22
Solve for tt:
t=2212=116t = \frac{22}{12} = \frac{11}{6}
Substitute t=116t = \frac{11}{6} into the second original equation:
2(116)+3u=42(\frac{11}{6}) + 3u = 4
113+3u=4\frac{11}{3} + 3u = 4
3u=4113=123113=133u = 4 - \frac{11}{3} = \frac{12}{3} - \frac{11}{3} = \frac{1}{3}
u=13÷3=13×13=19u = \frac{1}{3} \div 3 = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{9}
Thus, t=116t = \frac{11}{6} and u=19u = \frac{1}{9}.

3. Final Answer

t=116t = \frac{11}{6}
u=19u = \frac{1}{9}
