Question

What is the solution of the system? Use elimination. 5x + 4y = –2 x – 4y = 14

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is x = 2, y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

                   5x + 4y = -2                Equation l

                     x - 4y = 14                 Equation ll

Process

-Sum up the equation

Result

                        6x = 12

Solve for x          x = 12/6

                           x = 2

-Substitute x in equation ll

                     2 - 4y = 14

-Solve for y

                        -4y = 14 - 2

                       -4y = 12

                           y = 12/-4

-Result

                            y = -3
