-2x+2y=6
7x-8y=-27
5x-6y=-21
-x+y=3
6x-7y=-24
6x-7y=-4(-2x+2y)
6x-7y=8x-8y
-6x from both sides:
-7y=2x-8y
add 8y to both sides:
y=2x
-2x+2y=6
2y-6=2x
2y-6=-12
-6-6=-12
y=-3
x=-6
Hope this helps :)
Add the 2 equations to eliminate the 2y. We get
2x = 6
x = 3
Plug x = 3 into the first equation:-
3 + 2y = 7
2y = 7 - 3 = 4
y = 2
Answer is x = 3 and y = 2
<span>It is also called order property of addition. This means that addends can be added in any order and the sum is always the same.</span>
It is always because if you have an improper fraction, the larger number is always the numerator. To get a reciprocal, you flip the fraction so that the denominator is the numerator, and vice versa. If the numerator is always bigger, and you make it the denominator, it would be proper.
