Answer: You can multiply the top equation by -1 to eliminate the x variable.
And the solution is (2,4/3) in case you need it.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 8
2x + 6y = 12
If you multiply the upper equation or down equation by one, you will be able to eliminate the x variable.
-1( 2x + 3y) = -1(8) New equation: -2x -3y = -8.
Add the new equation you got by multiplying the top equation by -1 to the bottom equation.
Add them: -2x -3y = -8
2x + 6y = 12
3y = 4
y = 4/3
You can now input the value for y into the one of the equations and solve for x.
-2x - 3(4/3) = -8
-2x -4 = -8
+4 +4
-2x = -4
x = 2
Answer:
(-5,-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+y=9 -> y=-2x+9
3x-y=16
3x-(-2x+9)=16
3x+2x-9=16
5x-9=16
5x-9 (+9)=16 (+9)
5x=25
x=5
no plug in 5 to x in any equation above
2(5)+y=9
10+y (-10)=9 (-10)
y=-1
so the answer is (-5,-1)
