Question

Solving with systems of equations using elimination! please help me. thank u!

Answer 1

To cross out a variable (in this case, x) we can add both equations together to get -5y=10. Dividing both sides by -5, we get y=-2. Next, plugging it into -3y+5x=26, we get 6+5x=26. Subtracting 6 from both sides, we get 5x=20. Next, we can divide both sides by 5 to get x=4
